Planning on buying this item (2013 or 2014, opinions wlcm) for my bro, who is quite the large dude 5'10"/300-ish. Is there a major diff. btwn M or L?

you can see the size differences on timbuk2.com they have photos of each bag in each size carried by different people. They tell you how tall each person is carrying the bag. there is a difference between M and L, Large is pretty big..

Please? Anybody? If anyone is 5 feet tall or around there and has used this machine or others (418, 431, 438) in this line, please drop a line here and tell me what you think of it? I am particularly interested in what kind of reach it takes to grip the handlebars while striding. Does it bend you forward to reach them or can you do so in relative comfort without straining your back? ANY input is greatly appreciated!!

My wife and I both have them. They seem to run a tad big. I usually wear L, and L worked for me, but my wife's M ended up fitting me perfect. My wife was fine with the M (her normal size), but the S was perfect. You would probably like a L. Hope this helps

The S/M will fit no problem. If anything you will be sinching the straps for a tighter fit.

Correct, the 70 means 70 but the s/m is shorter so it sticks out farther (more depth) on your back whereas the m/l is longer with shorter depth. Deciding between the two depends on your back height. I'm 6'4" so for me the choice was obvious and I went with the m/l and it fits on my back well.

I am 5'9' wide shouldered, 280lbs. I got an 8 and fits shoulders good, belly ok. I would try the 7. But each company makes them different. If you are a huskier build I like the karate gi's from proforce and will be getting a judo gi from them soon.

The M fit me. I'm 5'9" 145 lbs. Just adjust the straps after you put it on.

Get the M. I'm 5'10" and bought the L. I love them! It will be snug but thats the point of compression support. Good luck!

I have the same 6' and 220 lbs; INSEAM for leg length (mine is 31") is more likely the deciding factor - Sam (below) has LONG legs, shorter torso, which for all of us, affects our posture (comfort) whilst riding....I'm still researching as too much stretching forward can be uncomfortable.Also, whether the handle bars can be adjusted UP and DOWN, plus extended away, or back to the rider, makes a huge difference in long distance riding comfort.

Definitely get the XXL. I just got my XL delivered today and it fits perfectly on my 650 cruiser, a much smaller bike than your husbands.

I have two boys. One is 5'6" 150lb and wears the 13". My taller boy 5'9" 150lb tried the 13 and didn't like the length and ordered the 15" and is very happy with the 15"Also - this is an outstanding value CP. I would recommend it for anyone who cannot afford a Wilson Gold or Platinum, or an All-Star. This will work for 80mph. (JV and down).

I would say M. Check out the sizing chart. Im 5 10 and 175 lbs and a L fits perfect. http://www.oneill.com/#/men/asiapacific/collection/men/wetsuits/size_chart/mens_size_chart/size_chart/abyss_grey/

Older models came in S/M/L. Current year model is S/M and M/L. the risgh sized pack depends n your torso length. Check out http://www.ospreypacks.com/en/web/sizing_and_fitting. My torso length 15 right between the two sizes at 20.5 so I went with the small. It adjusts perfectly and is really comfortable on long all day hikes.

I am a big guy at 5'11 & 190 lbs. I have a 36" waist & I bought the two bottle version of this belt in a large & it is way too big. Usable, but I have to use my daughter's hair ties to hold down the excess belt. I found the 4 bottle version locally & tried on the medium & it fits me. As I still am losing weight as I train for a full marathon, going with the medium makes sense for me.

Hi,My guy is doing great with a medium at 60lb. I went ahead and got a large and its a little big but i kept and just adjusted it to his face. I have the medium as a back up even though its alittle older.

Go by chest meas. They seem to run slightly small, My chest is actually 39" and I ordered the Med. which fits a 38" chest. It works ok for me, but could probably have gotten the large instead. You want them to fit snug to hold the weapon in place with no shifting around.
