I'm relatively overweight (or big to be kind to me)for a mountaineer, fun to watch the faces of people who think I can't make it out of base camps. Anyway, I'm 5'10" weight 220 pounds and have a 48 inch chest. My inseem is ideal at 30". Yup, I'm one of those hard to fit people. Any thoughts on the size I should order? Thanks much in advance!

Arthur. I would try a large. I feel like if you go for any bigger it will be to long for you in the arms and legs. I hear ya regarding fit...sometimes it is hard in the industry where everything seems to be built for someone who is 5'9" and 150. Good luck!
