check out www.calsportbike.com they just started sponsoring this site. Go to sizing application at the top right of their page. You can use their chart to size and order your gear.

yo mang...at your size, problem is that a jacket that will fit your upper torso will be short and so will the sleeves if you go with astars...

try on something at a store to get a general measurement.

also...forget the bling brand gear get something strong and durable, like teknic and fieldsheer, firstgear...and use the remaining balance on purchasing the NEW bow flex or a gym membership....

I am 145 and 5' 11" and a 42/52 jacket is perfect for me. I have an alpinestars stunt leather jacket and love it. Let me know what you end up doing.

yo mang...jackets should fit SNUG...
so if you're 6' and 165, 48/58 is way too big.

i'm 5'6 and 165...with 46' chest and i wear a 40 just so i can stretch it out to fit snug.
it's always going to bunch somewhat but don't let it bunch too much...

AND HIT THE GYM OR THE BUFFET LINE!

I just returned it, they ordered a size 56 for me and should be in by the weekend. I went with a 56 because the sleeves still need to fit. Hopefully it turns out good, otherwise I will have to order a size 54. Thanks for your help, any other comments?
