teknic mach one jacket - nklr

Anyone have or tried on a Mach One Jacket. I checked out their website...
I like the colors of the Sprint Jacket but the armor of the Mach One
appeals to me a bit more. I'm 6'2" 225ish, recommend a size to start
with? The Kili XL is comfy. The closest place that carries Teknic gear is
100+ mi. away. Wanna make sure they have my size before trekking down there.
Any crash stories with this on, out there? Not that I'll crash or anything
Thanks

i just put a moose on about a month ago. i notice no difference in length
from the factory one, but maybe i don't pay attention.
