Artifactos - I wore the Louis Garneau Pro Tri Suit for a tri this weekend. One of the reasons I chose it was for the powere band. I looooooooove that power band. I have big quads, and I despise shorts that squeeze my legs too much. It's one of the reasons I chose not to wear Zoot. I love everything about Zoot except that most of the grippers are too squeezy for me. There are some photos of me wearing the LG suit on another thread in the tri sub-forum.

For reference, I'm wearing the medium. My quad measurement at the point where that band is hitting is roughly 18.5 inches.

Hope that helps.
