How stretchy is this? I'm 6'3", 180 and I'm always a bit sad by soft shells because I can't really wear them when I'm climbing because if I reach over my head they expose about 6 inches of my lower back. So is this good and stretchy or only so so?

Hey. I'm 6'3" and 170 and I got a medium. It's a very tight fit. But that's what I wanted. Once it's on it's comfortable, but putting it on and taking it off are more effort than typical. I really like the jacket and would get another one if they had any in my size in different colors

not sure what your sizing is, but if your tall and lanky, check some of your measurements, and get a size up. the arms are long, the arm holes are fitted, so this minimizes the lift on this jacket. this material stretches well, over 10% stretch, but it is still a laminated powershield for great wind and weather resistance.
