I was considering getting a medic, cuz i can get em pretty cheap. My only concern is that i will get hot as balls while im skiing. I know the medic has vents and all that, but i wanna know if you can rock it all winter long.. let me know what the deal is if you have one or have skied in one ... and let me know what size ur wearin and how big you are ... yes i know people have done this shit before ... but im doin it again anyway cuz i need some recent feedback ... wordd

does the suit fit tru to size at all? cuz im 6 foot. Im not sure whether i should get a medium or large. according to oakley's sizing, i should be getting a medium, but iwanna know what other people who have the suit think. Also, do the vents in the suit do anything? do they help deal with the warmth at all or are they pretty much useless?

oakley's sizing chart is just in general, not taking into account that some people like their clothes a little baggy. Oakley runs pretty small so you should be fine with XXL

i wore the orage one pretty much every day last season, it actually really wasnt that warm. But obv the oakley one is insulated and the orage one is not. To be completely honest the orage suit was probably less warm than a traditional jacket and coat

go for that suit i saw a kid in co both times i went with it and it looks sick. but get as big as possible and taking the sleeves off would be so sick for hot weather.
