Planning on buying this item (2013 or 2014, opinions wlcm) for my bro, who is quite the large dude 5'10"/300-ish. Is there a major diff. btwn M or L?

you can see the size differences on timbuk2.com they have photos of each bag in each size carried by different people. They tell you how tall each person is carrying the bag. there is a difference between M and L, Large is pretty big..

I would get a 55, I am 5'11" 170 Ibs and it is snug on me. If you plan on using it a lot and not carrying it hours on end the 65 may be good but since the 65 fits me pretty snug the 55 may be better suited for you. Hope that helps.

It appears Amazon is out of the Large. How about the Large Short (size LS)? It states it is the same chest and waist size but probably a shorter torso as it is listed for someone 5'7" to 5'9". Also I'm 6'0", 178lbs with a 42" chest and 34" waist. I ordered a Large and found it tight in the chest and especially around my neck. I workout but am not "thick". I had to get an XL and it fits pretty good. I guess I'm trying to say that they run a little small. Love the wetsuit by the way!

I would say a med. I'm 6'0 197 athletic built with long arms. the med fit good around the torso area but the arms were two small. so in my opinion the med should be perfect for you. hope it fits good.

Get the 6-9. My guy is 14.5lbs and just starting to grow out of his 3-6 suit.

Glen, I'm the same size and have tried on both L and XL in a sports store. The Large length was long and not too bad but the waist was tighter than I wanted. The XL waist felt better but the length is pretty long. I bought the XL for the fit and just scrunched the legs. It's workable and I figured I want comfort verses looks.

Thanks Joel!!! Good info about sizes! Wait til you receive it...see how well made it is. I am in south Fla so ordered the darker color. They have a new one that is a lil lighter...just sayin. Good luck!!!

I spoke with 3M tech support, and the guy explained it like this: "70% of users will fit the size medium. 23% will fit size large. The rest will fall in the small category." I assume that the reason 93% fit medium to large because men typically are the users. I am 6', 225lb guy that wears a medium. My 5'4" wife uses small. I can almost wear a large, but larges are set for people with long faces.

The 4XXL may be a good fit for you. I ordered it by accident and exchanged for the 2XXL which is a good fit for me at 190 lbs.

I have this item which I paid $70 for but could not use. It is very comfortable but not for a tall skinny guy. I will gladly see you this item for $50-used for 1/2 a block(essentially a trial to see if it was for me) If interested email me at DrCPsychman@aol.com and I'll ship it to you UPS.

Correct, the 70 means 70 but the s/m is shorter so it sticks out farther (more depth) on your back whereas the m/l is longer with shorter depth. Deciding between the two depends on your back height. I'm 6'4" so for me the choice was obvious and I went with the m/l and it fits on my back well.

I'm also 5-10.5 & 33. I'm ordering the 58. My old, heavy Schwinn Continental is a 58, and it's perfect for me. If I were any shorter, the 58 would probably be too big for me. But I like as large a frame as I can handle.

I have the same 6' and 220 lbs; INSEAM for leg length (mine is 31") is more likely the deciding factor - Sam (below) has LONG legs, shorter torso, which for all of us, affects our posture (comfort) whilst riding....I'm still researching as too much stretching forward can be uncomfortable.Also, whether the handle bars can be adjusted UP and DOWN, plus extended away, or back to the rider, makes a huge difference in long distance riding comfort.

It's been a while, Al, but I seem to recall no unusual sizing issues. I sent it back, however, because it was too heavy for backpacking. If you're planning on standing in one place (on a boat or something,) this would be the ticket. I'm going to guess it'd be a medium?

Hi,My guy is doing great with a medium at 60lb. I went ahead and got a large and its a little big but i kept and just adjusted it to his face. I have the medium as a back up even though its alittle older.

As for sizing, they would be the same. It's just a merger of listings on Amazon, one showed M, one showed Medium, so they have both after the mergerAs for model year, the only difference is color
