MSR Xplorer ADV Jacket - Lightweight Waterproof Hiking Jacket for Men & Women - Windproof Outdoor Gear for Camping, Backpacking & Mountaineering

OK, just received a set of gear , here's MY first impressions on FIT only, (have not used it on a ride yet):I'm 5"11 or so, and 245 lbs , maybe 47/48 size in chestTypical motorcycle gear I would need to get an XXL or higher in order to fit me (think RevIt brand) , the XL jacket size is a PERFECT fit for me.Also, I would wear a pant size typically of 38/40 length x 30 inseam.. the size 38 MSR pant fits VERY well, and i swear feels almost tailored to fit me . Both still fit with base and midlayers underneath.The pants I could see getting a bit too tight IF i put on a few extra lbs, but the range of motion on these things is EXCELLENT!I do feel that tightness in the elbows a bit, BUT its not that noticeable for me, and honestly, if someone else hadn't pointed it out, i might not have even noticed it..The material feels very tough, and that superfabric feels bulletproof...They seem like gear that will last me a LONG time, BUT time will tellThe one question I have regarding the eVent fabric, is they say to 'wash it often' .. what is often? once a month, after every ride, twice a year? I'd be curious to find that out , otherwise by far, hands down, the burliest riding gear I've ever owned..EDIT: ok, after using on a couple large rides, i do notice that the neck opening seems a lot larger then it needs to be.. prob better a bit larger than too small, but im curious how that handles waterproofing, and cold temps.. maybe a neck gaiter is all i need to add? we'll seeOn a recent ride, i got smacked by a bee on my neck going about 40 mph.. got stung pretty bad, feel like the neck is a bit too exposed,. THe isuse with the neck drawstring, when you tighten it, is that when it tightens, it lays down , making the opening smaller, but maybe even exposing more of your neck itself..Still have yet to take it through a rain storm, so cant attest to the water proofing just yet, but no issues in water crossings.Vents: incredible. they work so good, have never had a jacket that the vents work that well on.. not a replacement for my mesh jacket on super hot days, but def been using it in much warmer weather than i had anticipated
