I'm 190 and 5-8. If you're taller you'll be fine. I'm a bit short for it but the arms and legs have cuffs so it wasn't a problem for me. According to the size chart it will accommodate up to 6'3", it's great b/c it's anatomically correct like th Puma so it doesn't feel like a baggy jump suit when you're sitting in the driving position. It's also one of the lightest 3 layer suits made and very breathable. Hit the link below for a size chart.

By the way there are no patches or embroidery so you have a clean slate to work with.

I have a 2008 version of that suit and I like it very much. My wife bought it for me for xmas. I think it was $1200.00. The extremities run long, the hips narrow.

Shouldn't be a problem Colby, look at the size chart link. You're going to need it when you start Time trialing with POC.

I've got a size 56 Alpine Star suit, based on your height/weight it should fit just about perfectly.

This is a smokin deal folks. I am tempted to pick up the suit for myself because it's better than wholesale pricing.

Driving Impressions carries these as well, really nice stuff. Lightweight, and looks great. It does have somewhat of a European cut though, so its probably best to try these on first.
