my b-day is coming up and i think i am going to ask for some sort of chest protector/ flak jacket/ pressure suit as a collective gift from my mom, dad, and brother. my issue i i'm 6'1 250lbs and i have seen very few that are made for a rider of my size. i know there had to be other big guys on this board, so what are you guys wearing when you ride. i'm looking for something less bulky cause i'm already fat as it is. pics would be nice too
~edit~ will be riding mostly dunes, needs to breathe very well

It is made of a very open mesh. As long as you are moving it is pretty nice. A litle warm if you stop in the sun, as are most things.

I 've got one and love it.
EVS's size chart shows the size to get when compared to suit coat size,and in my case it matched up perfectly. Doug
