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 like mediums, I'm 5'2" as well, depending on what you're using then for. The wrist guards are great, the knee pads are a bit thin, my friend got a large and the wrist guards are far too big.

i don't think it is, my partner is a big guy he said it was fine. i know what you mean though. i would suggest ordering it and if you don't like it just send it back. i think you will like it!

I just saw a small and a large right next each other at Dicks today (13 Jul) and the difference is very little. I'm 5'10" and I bought the large. Hope this helps!

I have two boys. One is 5'6" 150lb and wears the 13". My taller boy 5'9" 150lb tried the 13 and didn't like the length and ordered the 15" and is very happy with the 15"Also - this is an outstanding value CP. I would recommend it for anyone who cannot afford a Wilson Gold or Platinum, or an All-Star. This will work for 80mph. (JV and down).

Given that I have only bought one size, and I am a fully grown adult, it's difficult for me to recommend which one you should pick for your son. But, I did scan through the reviews to see which ones mention buying smaller sizes for their children. I came across a few that would at least come close to your son's statistics. The first one I found was bought for a 9 year old who was "Very tall" for her age, and they got her a medium. The reviewer said that if you buy a size perhaps slightly bigger than you were hoping for, the outfit comes with several straps that wrap around the waist and legs that can tighten it. (which I can confirm is true.) The only part that I've ever found to be loose is the upper chest region. I can't even seem to get that region to stay tucked in when I move around too much in the outfit. Also, another reviewer bought this for her 13 year old son who was 5'7 and 120 pounds and chose large. She said it was "a tad loose, but not too long." This is probably the example you were looking for, so listen carefully: Given the fact that you son is the same age as hers, and is both shorter and weighs less than her son, Medium might be a wiser choice - but remember I can't confirm that, I've never bought or tried any other side except for XL. At any rate, I think whether you pick medium or large everything will be fine. The medium might fit perfectly, and the large, if you decided to get that one, would at least be really comfortable, nonrestrictive to motor functions, and more importantly; he'd be able to continue using it as he ages and grows. So either decision you make I think you'll find good things about either of them. Hope I was of help.

I would imagine, I bought the s/m and I am an average 5'7 142 lb. and it's snug.., but I didn't want it to move around. Hope that helps.

I'd say go smaller. I was right in between M and L and went with the M which fits perfectly.

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.

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

Those sizes refer to torso sizing. In general the S/M fits torso sizes &lt; 19" and the M/L fits torso sizes &gt; 19". There is a video on the Osprey web site on how to measure your torso size.

Definitely get the XXL. I just got my XL delivered today and it fits perfectly on my 650 cruiser, a much smaller bike than your husbands.

I am 5'9' wide shouldered, 280lbs. I got an 8 and fits shoulders good, belly ok. I would try the 7. But each company makes them different. If you are a huskier build I like the karate gi's from proforce and will be getting a judo gi from them soon.

Please? Anybody? If anyone is 5 feet tall or around there and has used this machine or others (418, 431, 438) in this line, please drop a line here and tell me what you think of it? I am particularly interested in what kind of reach it takes to grip the handlebars while striding. Does it bend you forward to reach them or can you do so in relative comfort without straining your back? ANY input is greatly appreciated!!

Yes, you'll be fine. My buddy is 6.5 and he has no issues. I'm on it every day. Holds up nicely.

Hi, I would love to tell you I am a master at bike buying, but the truth is I was lucky to know that bikes came in a size. This fits my brother who is 5'10, and 165 lbs. Based on your height I would think that your legs are a bit longer than his, so you probably would want a slightly larger frame. Weight doesn't seem to be an issue. His buddy is 5'10 but 220lbs and borrows the bike. If there was a difference, I couldn't tell. If you'd like more help, I used the bike calculator tool at ebicycles to check on the bike for my brother, but it also needs your leg length and it varies by type of bike. I've attached a link for the different calculators. It has calculators for road bikes, mountain bikes, and bmx bikes. I hope that helps! http://www.ebicycles.com/article/bicycle-frame-size-charts.html#bicycle-size-calculators

The S/M will fit no problem. If anything you will be sinching the straps for a tighter fit.
