So I'm very much considering getting the blue 2012 Oakley Preferred jacket + pants...anyone have anything good or bad to say about this jacket/pants? In terms of quality? warmth etc?

Anyway my main question was about sizing. I'm 5'11 , 165 pounds, so not that big a of a guy. I don't know whether or not to get a large or x large jacket. I don't want it to be like tight fitted, but i'm not going for the 5xl first drop tall look either. What do you think?

In terms of pants, I'll probably get large cuz I don't want real baggy pants.


advice please!

I would go for the xl if you want a kinda baggy fit, (not a bdog look but probably mid thigh maybe lower depending on build) if you want a more fitted look go for the L, as for quality oakley make great stuff and I have never had problems with anything of mine. GL.

Go for XL buddy in the jacket, I'm 5 10 and had a lot of Oakley stuff, Large is nice but XL looks a lot better.

Get an XL man. I'm 5'9"-5'10" and I wear an XL and I like the fit, you can check my vid to see what the fit will look like. Oakley quality is really good, I mean look at the price you pay for it.

Alright I might do that...it's just a hard decision cuz i'm not going for the extreme steeze jacket down to thigh look but I want a good fitting jacket that'll be kinda steezy...sounds like XL might be the way to go.

Corked jacket i think has identical measurements and I'm 6'4 wearing an XL that goes to mid thigh. XL will probably go to your knees.
