Have the 09/10 pewter with lime green accents instead of red with the same white zips. Cool to see BC carrying this stuff. Their pics however don't do a high dollar jacket justice and would take a look at http://www.peakperformance.com/ for mo betta real world pic's. Been using their stuff for about 4 years now. Was a die hard Arcteryx fan previous. I wear medium in the Pant and Jacket and am 5'11" 165ish. The Heli Alpine Jacket and Pant are not tight fitting at all. More of a loose but smooth freeride look without the over supply of sloppy. They are extremely durable with incredible attention to detail. They move with you well without the loud krinkle and seem to have a bit of stretch built in. Great on stormy days hiking for turns too. Yep its a lot of dollars and will be hard to justify for some. But for those of you who have the means, you may never go back to other brands once you use this stuff.
