    Looking at getting a pressure suit 2nd hand, just not surehow the sizing works out..
    Bought 661 race knee/shin pads in large and they came up a touch big on me..
    Looking at a medium pressure suit but wondering if a medium will fit my 6ft, average built, 38″ chest..
    Anyone able to help?
    TIA.

    I have a 661 Pressure Suit in medium (which I’m selling, strangely enough) and I’m 5’11” with a 42″ chest and it fits me just fine.

    I tied a small and although, as you say, 661 products seem to come up large it just felt too short on the body and the back protector didn’t feel as if it came down far enough.

    Medium should be fine for you.

    Hmm?? Interested if it’s a decent price/condition..?

    It doesn’t stink (a common problem with buying second-hand body armour) and has a few fairly insignificant scratches on the elbow pads (probably from leaning on the bar post-ride). It hasn’t seen a hard life by any stretch of the imagination.

    My medium is pretty medium- but also surprisingly adjustable, I’m a narrow medium but there’s tons of adjustment for a wider chap.

    (I went with the Assault Suit, ie torso and shoulders but no forearm protection, so I can use my standalone arm pads- makes fit a bit simpler)
