Hello friends.  I need help, and it would be awesome if some of you guys could point me in the right direction.  I'm trying to get my hands on a new jacket.  I want the jacket to be "Tall" and in a tannish(Light brown) color.  I don't really like puffys too much but definately still post if you have one in mind... thanks

I have an older version of this jacket, and it is fucking SICK.

It definitely fits longer than most(3-4 inches), and it is also true to Oakley sizing.

FWIW, i recommend an XL for you and your size.

And yes, since the coat is so big(long, etc.), it does seem kinda heavy compared to most same-sized coats. But it isn't really cumbersome when you are skiing on the hill.

So, all in all, PULL THE TRIGGER ON IT!!! You wont be disappointed.
