Hey.

Well do you like the length? I would go bigger, but there is not way that a jacket has to be worn.

thats a little small, even for sooper dooper thug life standards, but its not bad. you will just look like you are wearing somewhat-fitted clothes. it wont be a disaster.

I kinda wish i went bigger. I just didnt want it to be crazy baggy. Its insulated 100g so i figured i wouldnt be wearing many layers under it. Me being 160...i didnt want there to be to much room. The waist length was like 3inches bigger. Also, the sleeves fit perfect. Size chart says

Large/XL

Center back Length, 31.5/32.5

Chest Circumference, 52/55

Waist Width, 51/54

Bottom Hem Circumference, 52/55

Sleeve Length, 38/38.75

...But at the same time, i didnt want to look like a thug in a XXXXXL. I probably do 60% all mountain with 40% park. I wanted something real functional but stylish.

i have some cappel jacket from last year in a large, the fit is spot on, cappel seriously makes some of the most high quality jackets on the market. Full industrial strength metal zippers and clasps, and everything is seamtaped, mine is basically waterproof

I am 6'2ish 190lbs and wear a large, and honestly its fine, i rode in last season, like it wont be hanging off you baggy, but not too close for comfort either
