Good post.... too bad im not that big(Thank God!)....

Only problem w/ Oakley stuff is its really hard to size. One thing you may wear a large and something else your in a XXL.... I've found this to be true with their shoes as well as their clothes/mtb gear....

these run BIG.
a couple months back SAC had these and I ordered a couple in what I thought was my size. Dang they were just to big... made me start to think some of the stuff they sell on there is defective
I can only imagine just how big those XXLs are.

Oakley stuff is sized funny. I bought mediums a few months back and they almost fall off my 33 waist. There is a little loop and button at the waistline in the back to make it fit tighter, but even then it's still a tad loose. If I were to take a spill and slide head first...

I bought a pair of Hoss shorts today from a co-worker who got them as a gift for his birthday, but they were to small for him. Anybody know anything about these? I only bought him lunch and worked on his bike a little and he gave me the shorts.

Lunch was sushi, expensive sushi!

I have a couple of em'. Good shorts and cheap (price). A definite best buy for clothes (shirts/shorts).

Hoss stuff is a good value. Good quality for the money. However, I had sizing issues. I'm 5'8"/155lbs and the medium shorts were like painted on. The larges are even a tad small. I still wear them though. Oh, of all my mtb shorts they're the shorts that look the most normal to the non mtber's eye, too.

Yeah, I buy the big boy size (one up from norm) for comfort.
