Well it felt like a nice shirt, btu I couldn't find one that fit. The large was positively tent like for a thin 6'2" dude, and although the medium felt like it would work, the armpits were abrasive. bummer, i like the colors.

I like the shirt a lot; its nice and long, so it won't come untucked if thats how you like it. Plus, the sleeves are long, which is nice for a lanky fellow. HOwever, the thumb holes are useless; they're a) too small, and b) misplaced. in order to get my thumbs into the holes, I have to twist the sleeves around, which constricts my forearms. Its not comfortable to wear the thumbholes.

I can't decide whether to return the shirt or not, because I really do like it as a layer, but I bought it to have another shirt with thumbholes...

I'll second the last reviewer's comments about the sizing. I'm used to wearing a medium in bib shorts, in several different brands, and I am built like Andy Hampsten, at 6'2" 160#. I ordered the Wicked bib shorts in a medium and thought they were super comfy, with excellent chamois and a lighter feeling fabric. But after riding in them about five times, the stitching along one of the hips started to pop (birthing hips), as well as the stitch between the mesh bib fabric and the short itself(I'm tall). I returned the bib shorts and got a large, and they've been fine so far.

So yeah, great bibs, but be sure to check the sizing chart for castelli stuff. The waist measurements are about two inches smaller per size between Castelli and Pearl Izumi.

blah, I've worn a size 12 in a bagillion different running shoes, and my six pairs of hardrocks have all worked just fine for me in 12's.

Hardrocks have set a standard for what is expected in a beefy, durable shoe for trail running, hiking, and general trail use. I really have had six pair, and although at the moment I'm trying to use lighter shoes, I miss the motion control and the protective hard plastic midsole plate in the hardrocks. My one gripe is that the flap of sole rubber on the toe of the shoes delaminates reliably.

Sweet jacket. I got one in March, and wore it in a variety of conditions in Utah's Wasatch Mountains. It's the only Gore-Tex piece I've ever had that breathes properly, although I still wouldn't wear it while running or biking in warm weather. It fits my thin frame quite well, with room for as much layering as I'll ever need. I thought they got the single cinch hood just right, and I appreciate the total lack of features: it's what makes this the lightest, most packable waterproof jacket around. Five stars for sheeze.
