I realize this is not a "ski specific" shell but would this work well for skiing? I am 6'5 and 165lbs so tall and skinny and i cant find jackets that fit well. Could this be the one?

I see this is an older question, but just to add fit info for other tall guys... I'm 6'4" and around 235, "somewhat athletic" build. Suit: 46 or 48 XL. I bought the Dri3 in size XL and I'm very happy with the fit. Body is not overly fitted, but is also not bulky, I can fit a fleece beneath it without feeling like a sausage. Sleeves and body are perfectly long enough and don't rise up much even when lifting arms overhead. So far I love the fit.

I`ve just tried the blue and the black version. I`m 6"4 and 186 lbs, so somewhat between skinny and normal. Beware that these are HUGE. They have a great torso lenght, which seems to be too short in all other jackets I try. Comparing it to the usual length of softshell jackets in XL, this is about 4 inches longer. But the cut is not slim at all. I have the Norröna Svalbard Flex1 here, too, and it's good in XL, but for the Dri3, I will need an L.

It would work excellent for skiing. The only thing it is lacking, but not be an issue for you, is a powder skirt.
