Mountain Hardwear Synchro Softshell Jacket - Men's

Item #MHW0478 | 0 in Stock

I just received a Synchro size Large in the mail. I'm 6'2"...

By Ranked #2571 - Men's Softshell Jackets October 10, 2009

I just received a Synchro size Large in the mail. I'm 6'2" 170lbs. The sleeve length on the jacket is perfect. The room in the mid section is also perfect. The problem arises in the length of the mid section. It only comes down to meet my pants. I own a Columbia jacket size Large-Tall and it has the same sleeve length as the Synchro, but it is way more comfortable in the length. So here's my two part question. If I were to size up to an XL Synchro, how much wider would it be? I only need the extra length. Also Is there a specific jacket or brand that tends to run tall? Thanks.

North Face is generally cut longer than other soft shells. Marmot and Patagonia also tend to run a bit longer than MH. You can try checking their center back length measurements or see if the staff at BC can measure for you. Regarding MH XL sizing, you can hit up the BC chat folks and they should be able to get you actual measurements on an XL Synchro. They may need to get it from the warehouse so it may take a few minutes. Be sure to describe how you measured yours so they can apply the same process.
