Been visiting different sports stores today, and going by my budget, my best bet so far is the Lowe Alpine TFX Appalacchian 75:95 XL. It fit me pretty well, although being a skinny guy I lost a bit of hip support. Seeing as how it's gotten pretty good reviews and is on sale for $300, I'm pretty tempted anyway.
