XXL North Face - long or bulky?

I know this is a pretty vague question... but for an XXL north face jacket, do they tend to be super bulkier (aka made for super fat people) or super longer (aka meant for tall people)?

No stores in the area have XXL north face for me to check out, so help me out NS.

I think alittle bit of both, my coat from 2 years ago is a large and its zipper lenght is like 32. So xxl might be around 35 or 36. Just a guess though

More like I'm in Ingrids pants!


No... I really just want to get north face because I get 30% off wholesale from 3point5.com, and it's gotta happen.

they fit pretty standard. The only tall fitting stuff in marketed that way and is generally for the dad crowd. Their freeride or criptic series definitely isn't that tall.

I wanted that jacket so bad. But the Green instead. Apparently, they were sold out across Canada in all colours, L and XL. Got the Flat Spin instead in size L, It's pretty big on me. And I'm 6'2, 170lbs. I think the zipper length on mine is 33 inches.

I really liked the green too... but then I realized that every other suit I've had over the last few years has been green, so It was time for a colour change...

I decided to go with banana steeze.

I almost got the same set up, but opted for some armada outerwear instead. It was a tough deal to pass up.

what sizes did you end up with? thats suit is really sick btw, maybe would have mixed it up with the pants so you don't get shit for looking like tom wallisch but other than that perfect.

Yeah... I ordered it before knowing that Wallisch wears that shit, now I feel like a fucking goon for buying it...

I got XL on both. was going to go with XXL, but that's just ridiculous for how skinny i am.
