    • body{font-family: Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:9pt;background-color: #ffffff;color: black;}Jamal,Greetings.  Excited you are planning on coming to the MTMS.  I cc’d Ken Ashton, who is close to the kit stuff.  The best case on fitting is to read their fit description really closely, since we are all spread around the country and can’t gather in one place.I’m 5’8″ and 170 and found an XL top fit me really well.  I’m not a fan of super tight stuff, though.  But skinnier guys were saying they liked medium tops.  Ken may have more to add – apparently the manufacturer was bought out a few months ago, and we aren’t sure how that will change things.Ken?David
