Hey, so I'm about 5'11 maybe 6 foot once the season starts, and am looking at the First Drop jackets, in there website they say its recommended to size up, but the xl seems like it will be huge on me, so what do you guys think I should get large or extra large

if i was you i would go xlt. but its up to you. xl would be baggy but it wouldnt be very tall. subtract atleast 2" from the sizes on their site becuase they are all wrong. real zipper length for xl is 35". all depends how you like your outerwear

im 511 and have xlt. its pretty big, about 4 inches from my knees. really good fit tho imo. quality is decent however i caught the rear pocket on a rail when it was open and it ripped some stitching, but i fixed that.


keep that pocket closed.
