I found that some of my earlier 661 gear was outsized for me (medium arm/elbow guards that I swam in, etc.), but they've gotten much better in the last two model years. I can't speak to someone of your imposing size, but I'm a relatively scrawny 6'-1" (I prefer 'lanky'
) and I definitely use all the full reach of the velcro to cinch up the kidney belt, but things seem to hit up and down in the right places.
Plus, the Pro PS that rosscopeeko is looking at has even better spine armor with the extension to protect down to the tailbone.
