How well does the jacket breathe? Is it meant to be worn while hiking/sweating or is it more of an extra layer to put on after setting up the tent and relaxing? One more thing, I'm 6'2" and 185- what's the best size for me? Thanks!

This jacket is designed for both, but certainly excels at insulating during cold and wet alpine assaults – one thing is for sure – it’s a great jacket that breathes well! You will probably need a L or a XL, it’s best to make a few simple measurements with a cloth tape measure, then check the sizing chart on this page. If you lack the availability of the cloth tape, use a bit of string to measure you chest, arms, etc…mark the string, then check the length with a standard tape measure.
