Yo

Im from New Zealand, and just getting ready for the ski season, and want to buy new oakley gear from back country outlet store, i like the look of the crash jacket and the crash pants, in ozone color as i have the crow bars that have white n ozone on them, im 5'10 and just want to get the right size. i got xxl at first (fucking fool) and yes way to big and wondering if xl would still be to big, i like the baggy look (like the size jossi has in this pic) what size pants n jacket??
cheersJossi jacket size

I've been rocking the L OTT all euro season and it's baggier than most Large's i've worn before, because of the bib, you can sag so much and it still sits properly on your waist, basically no arse showing.  XL wouldn't look too rediculous if you like it real big, I could try and find a photo if necessary.

My friend has that exact jacket from that pic. Its a large, and i think he is about 5'9" - 5'10" and it fits BIG on him. You could go with a large and still have it fit pretty big because I believe that jacket features a "baggy" fit. I am about 5'9" and i have one of next years Oakley "regular" fit large, and i still feel like it fits big,

If you're 5'7 I'd definitely go Large on the pant man, XL would be too big (clown baggy!).   The jacket, I'd go Large if you want it to run past your fingertips or you wanna grow in to it. It will fit big though man, I rocked a L Evo jacket this winter and it ran to my finger knuckles when arms were at side, and i'm 6ft.  But if you want it to fit similar to that picture then i'd recommend medium maybe.

If you're 5'10 (I can't work out what you are) I'd go XL Jacket and XL pant, if you want it baggy as.
If you're on facebook, i got a couple of pics on there of me in it, PM me if you want in.
