Just wondering if anyone has used the Vapor FX for 4-season hiking/backpacking even though it's designed to be a ski jacket. No retailers in my area have the jacket in stock and I can't really tell from the pictures whether the jacket is too heavy for 4-season use.
Also, I'm a gawky 6'5" 185 lbs and usually wear 16.5 x 36 shirts. Wondering if a Large is the best size. I usually wear XL jackets but I might be swimming in a Westomb XL.
Thanks for the help!

This can totally be used as described, we all know it's a ski jacket, but Westcomb uses strong face fabrics and eVent is the most awesomest waterproof/breathable membrane known to man. Go to work in this thing man! As far as sizing, I'd go with XL ( overall length is 32" - more awesomeness) Don't even bother with a large, you're too tall to ride in a tank (rule of thumb).
