Is that the light-skinned guy? If so, yeah, he's odd. He doesn't look like a 6-footer, and he doesn't look that skinny... If he's 6', he looks like he'd be 175lbs+, based on proportions, and I don't think that's Small territory.

Some of their stuff is really stretchy, though, and there's also the how-clingy-are-you-comfortable-with? factor. I'm just under 6'. When I was in the low 190s, their Classic Fit stuff (Core, Classic, Brevet, IIRC) was form-fitting but not tight on me in a Large. At my current weight, it's a little too flappy for me, at speed; I might avail myself to their Size-Down program on a couple of Core jerseys. The Pro Team stuff is really stretchy - Mediums fit me if you're of the "if it zips, it fits" philosophy, but I'm a little more comfortable (read: less self-conscious) in a Large.
