According to your post, you were around the same weight as I when you were wearing them.
I tend to carry most of my weight in the middle.
What size did you wind up getting? I noticed the Gore I tried on were really form-fitting.
I'm right between 5' 11" and 6' even, and I am between 245-255, depending on the scale.
Thanks for your help.
The gore was form-fitting 35 pounds ago. Giordana is similar; both XL. You want to look for something with a looser cut -- the opposite of team cut. I think Specialized and Pearl Isumi both make larger cut jackets.
