[Wrongside]

Sorry, should have posted this in clothing

Looooosssseeeeerrrr...

I just got a large. I wear a 42 jacket, and have room for layers.

It is the best shell ever made.

Fixed it for ya, Matt...

Just buy it already. If its too small, you can give it away to a real nice guy I know...

No more deals for you... Keep that in mind next time you look at that $20 hat I asked for. Nice pack your wearing by the way, must have been a great deal from a good friend

I bought one size that fits in the chuguache rain gear and one jacket a size larger for another use. They do fit as advertised and some will require a larger or smaller size based on there own needs and body size. It is good stuff and I will continue to buy it. Not sure regarding sizing since the production change but no need to buy anything else for a while.Bob.

I have the old Canadian built jacket and the new China built one. They fit identical for me. I bought the large and XL both times just to be safe considering the cost of the item. Both times I kept the XL due to the sleeves being the correct length. I have to use the draw chord to get the fit dialed though. I'm 6' 2" and 175 lbs. with a 78" reach and wide shoulders. I'm confident that if you wear an XL typically and you want room to layer, the XXL would be perfect. The safe bet would be to buy both and try both with your insulating layers. It will cost you $10 bucks and you will never doubt your decision.

Btw, I live and hunt in one of the wettest climates in the US and this rain gear is the best I have found.

I'm 5'9 160 lbs and wear a medium in everything nearly, but wanted room to layer under the jacket (got the Chugach pants in medium) so I ordered the jacket in large and there is plenty of room under the large to layer with my puffy jacket while not being too big with just a base layer underneath...

Thanks guys! After some more reading and thinking I went with the XXL and I am almost positive it will be exactly what I am looking for. It shipped out today. I thought about ordering two but now that they are made in China(one negative for sure) I will have to pay duty once they hit the border and I don't want to deal with trying to get that cost back(not even sure you can???).

Hopefully it works out, I will give my impressions once it shows up.

Thanks again!

Received jacket in the mail today. It is big for sure but after trying it with the layers I wanted to use under it, it is exactly the size I was looking for. With layers on underneath I still have the freedom of full movement and this is where a couple of my other shells were lacking, especially once a pack is on. I do not like being restricted once all of my layers are on which can sometimes be six or more months out of the year around here. This one still says "Made in Canada" as well

Seems like a very well made jacket and cant find any flaws. Most certainly on par with some of my other high end shells.

And no Wrongside, this jacket wont fit you with your short T-Rex arms

Haha! Some days I have the arms of a T-Rex, somedays monkey arms and other days I'm a pack mule! Not sure what to think of all that...

Glad you got your shell and look forward to checking it out!

Buy the size you think you need and if its to tight send it back for a larger size. There returns are very easy and quick

Easy for you if you are in the states. Not as easy for us Canadians or as cheap, especially if the product is made in China.
