Gear Review
A great suit

First, let me confirm it runs big and your crotch will hang low, well not my crotch, but the suit's crotch. I'm 6'1", 220 lbs and the large was plenty big. I maybe could have worn a medium.
Why it's great; First, it looks great and even though it fits large and low, you don't look like you should be hanging out in the park. I'm 40 and my wife thought it was the best looking outfit I've ever skied in for what that's worth.
Second, it is unbelievably functional. More pockets than you can count on both hands. The perfect suit for a day in the powder. I hung an edge and tumbled a bit with no snow in my suit.
Finally, if your aware of the caveats and ok with the weird fit and not detachable jacket/ pant, it's by far the best value you'll find in a snow suit. I'll sell my used Arcteryx pants for almost what I paid for this suit. I highly recommend it.
