Great for tall guys

Patagonia Stretch Velocity Zip-Neck Jacket - Men's

Patagonia Stretch Velocity Zip-Neck Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 October 18, 2009

Got this thing on s&c for next to nothing. One of my favorite purchases ever. I'm wearing it right now. I'm 6'4", 175, with huge gangly spider arms, and the large fits excellent, with great range of motion. Warm, stretchy, and (i'm told) stylish (I have all the fashion sense of a mossy rock). I lounge around the house, hike, climb, and hit up the bar in this thing. Zipper/Chin guard works great. No pockets... One chest pocket would have been nice. Also, great layering, the trim fit and smooth material make it comfortable under a shell. Couldn't be happier with it.

Note on the "pilling" issue- I've only had it about 6 months, but have yet to notice any pilling.

Very snug

Mountain Hardwear Transition Softshell Jacket - Men's

Mountain Hardwear Transition Softshell Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 3 October 5, 2009

As said in other reviews, this jacket is well made and gets the job done. Just wanted to comment on the fit for taller guys. I'm 6'4, 180, and have 35.5" arms. I bought the large, and it fits perfectly. The arms allow enough movement to reach above my head, just not while the thumb loops are in place, which is a little disappointing. With both thumbloops in, I can't put both arms out in front of me without feeling like the jacket is going to rip across my back, and there is NO stretch in the cuffs. Other than that, it is cut well for a tall, lanky dude. As noted in an earlier review, the arms are tight enough that it is difficult to layer a long sleeve underneath, which I don't mind but others might. Also, the non-adjustable hood, when fully zipped, is super snug, but fits under a climbing helmet. Just a little tight on the chin. The pocket made me laugh... whose idea was that? Pretty useless, especially climbing. A chest pocket would have been nice. I picked this up on S&C for a killer price, so I'll keep it and just alter the thumbloops and maybe the hood. Bottom line- If you have broad shoulders, long arms, or a bigger head, i would look elsewear.
