Large Waist Jacket

What’s up NS I’m a thicker built individual and I’m also not very tall. So with those things together I need like a XL jacket, but it’s still tight around my legs and rear. One problem I have is blowing out zippers when my legs spread apart aggressively when landing hard or whatever. Anyone on here know a decent jacket that has maybe a tapered waist or like stretchier waist? I’ve seen the company DOPE has them, but I’m not gonna rock a coat that has DOPE in large letters written all over the coat

respect for recognizing that Dope snow is cringe. My only advice is to stay far away from North Face. I’ve had some luck with Burton wide waists.

Good choice avoiding dope, never seen someone wearing it that knows what they’re doing

Just get XXL man best thing.

I had the same problems too, but depends on where you are and how much snow you get.

most days I rock a 3XL anorak from tall T or an old school saga jacket for powder days.

the anorak is a trash bag but gives you a ton of room and before 2015 saga stuff in XL gives me a lot of room
