Ha ha
I actually ordered one of each size and I'll see which fits the best.
I also added some pictures and some more information on the new model verses last year's model.

I called them up a few weeks ago and ordered the two direct. BCA is a great company to deal with!!
These new vests are nice with some nice upgrades but the original is still a nice setup..........which reminds me! If anyone is interested in a like new Mountain Pro Vest, I just listed mine here on snowest.

I got a new one in the M/L size and it fits really well. Really looking forward to using it this season.
Those of you that have one already what size would a guy need if he was 6'2" tall and about 215 with no gear on? About 36" waist. Thanks.
The M/L will fit you perfect
I would have liked to get the new model, but there are tons of the older versions around that are heavily discounted, so that's what I just picked up. Haven't ridden with it yet, but I'm pretty stoked about it. I'm planning on adding the clip at the top of the zipper.

I also picked one up at the Utah Snow Show where they had them on a great sale. I really like mine so far. I feel like the weight distribution is so much better with a vest than with a pack, and mine has the smallest pack so there isn't much weight to distribute. I agree with all the good things said above. The new one does look even cooler, but I'm happy with the big discount I got on the old one. Count me as one more really happy customer.

Just picked one up coming from a float30. No comparison I could never go back. Weight distribution way better and so much easier to get on and off. Love the front pockets for beacon and inreach. Only complaints are no side shovel handle mount and the orange color on the m/l sucks.
I'm curious if anyone has a comparison of the bca vest vs the wary avivest or the snowpulse charger vest?
I have a wary avivest and I was looking for something lighter and perhaps better air flow and not as warm. I was surprised to find that weighing the wary avivest it was only 7.5 lbs with full cyclinder but I'm guessing it doesn't have the same protection as the bca as it just as the plastic inserts.
