Is the outer hardshell material of this jacket very similar to the Arcteryx Stingray or more like Burton AK Contnuum(Soft Shell)? And does this have an alpinist cut(shorter in front/longer in back)? Zipper length? Looking for around 32".
Should I go L or XL?
195 lbs, 6'2", athletic, looking for a baggier fit.
Other jacket sizing comparisons:
Burton AK-L is pretty much the most perfect fit I have found in body/arm length and perfect baggyness/chest sizing.
Arcteryx Stingray-XL is closest but don't like the shorter front/longer back, and zipper of only 30" so yeah, too short.
North Face Sedition-XL is pretty good fit, just a touch big.
How does the fit compare, most specifically to the Burton AK?
Thank you.

the material is closer to the burton ak continuum, but it is gore, so its not exactly the same. i love this shell. i have been in some gnarly storms in this thing and it has never let me down. 6'2" and 195, i would go XL, especially if you want it to be roomy.
