how is the sizing of the vest? I am a pretty big boy(6 foot 275lbs) and am worried about the size being too small after putting it on over all my clothes. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The snowpulse Highmark comes with two different "frame sizes" to accommodate larger riders.. I'm 6' 4" and the bag fits me very well. It's also very comfortable

We have 3 of the vests. I really like them a lot. They fit from 6' 170lbs to me at 6'4" 225lbs. They feel heavy carrying them out to the truck, don't really notice them on. They distribute the weight better than a pack, way better. I am 6'4" and a little under 225 and there is a LOT of room for me too expand. 6' 275lbs no problem. I run hot, rarely run anything more than a base layer and shell and I am not sweating any more wearing the vest, not sure why. Also, I run a Troy Lee soft armor shirt under the vest. The vest has an armor "kit" that I installed and like, the shoulder pads help carry the load and the chest armor protects the ribs. Back to the Troy Lee shirt. It is a bunch of small pads with air channels in between and this seems to help air circulate under the vest. I was worried it would make me hot too but the opposite is the case. I really like the pockets on the front of the vest too.

finally got to try it out! rode for 4 days and personaly say it is far more comfortable than my hymark. traded off within my group and all but 1 said it was alot easier to cary, displaces the weight much better than a pack. the only complainer wears a non air bag pack[ hmk] which is definatly lighter.the vest also gives alot of back support which helped me out alot. im 5-11 235lb and the vest offers plenty of room to grow. i sure hope not!!! excellent product!!
