Scott Avenger Softshell Jacket - Men's
November 11, 2009
In the picture where you can see the soft shell in the hood it looks like a much thicker/warmer fleece inner compared to other Goretex SoftShell jackets like Arcteryx Stingray or Burton AK Continuum. Is this the case? Does this have a more alpine cut(shorter in front/longer in back) or normal?
Should I go L or XL?
195 lbs, 6'2", athletic, looking for baggy fit, zipper length of about 32".
Other jacket sizing comparisons:
Burton AK-L is pretty much the most perfect fit I have found in body/arm length and perfect baggyness/chest sizing.
Arcteryx Stingray-XL is close but don't like the shorter front/longer back, and zipper of only 30" too short in body.
North Face Sedition-XL is pretty good fit, just a touch big.
How does the fit compare, most specifically to the Burton AK?
Thank you.

Is the outer hardshell material of this jacket very similar to the Arcteryx Stingray or more like Burton AK Contnuum(Soft Shell)? And does this have an alpinist cut(shorter in front/longer in back)? Zipper length? Looking for around 32".
Should I go L or XL?
195 lbs, 6'2", athletic, looking for a baggier fit.

Burton AK-L is pretty much the most perfect fit I have found in body/arm length and perfect baggyness/chest sizing.
Arcteryx Stingray-XL is closest but don't like the shorter front/longer back, and zipper of only 30" so yeah, too short.
North Face Sedition-XL is pretty good fit, just a touch big.

Norrøna Narvik Gore-Tex Performance Shell Pant - Men's
November 11, 2009
What size should I get and what is the material like(stiff, crinkly, lighter/heavier, durable)?
195 lbs, 6'2", athletic, looking for baggy fit but not ballooning in ass and waist.
Other pant sizing comparisons for me:
Arcteryx Stingray-L is too narrow/short, XL is too fat in ass and still could be longer
Burton AK-L would be perfect if they came 2" or more longer.
Patagonia Powder Bowl-L is good fit, could be a little baggier
This years Orage Gordon in XL is a perfect fit.
How would this pant compare too the others in sizing? L or XL?
Thank you
