They only had one FiST in town with the White Oxford exterior that I wanted, and it had the Recaros. It gets HOT here in South Texas, so I wanted cloth b/c leather gets sticky. I'm nearing 1k miles and I couldn't be happier that I had no choice in seating and got 'stuck' with the Recaros! I'm 6'3" 200lbs, but my legs think I'm 6'6" with my 36" inseam. My waist is 32" but my upper body is very muscular with wide shoulders (think swimmer) and the Recaros are snug on me. My lats don't really slide inside the upper bolsters, but I LOVE these seats! Now when I sit in regular seats, I feel like I'm floating on a piece of particle board in the middle of the ocean; I'm sliding around and having to use my core to keep myself in place. The bolsters on the Recaros keep me comfortably in place, but it did take a while to get adjusted to the feel. Now, I've been spoiled to non-racing seats. I'll never go back! Oh, I never thought I'd use them but the heater has been great in the morning with our extended cold fronts. Bonus: I didn't have to pay the extra $2K for them!
