Mountain Hardwear Nitrous Down Jacket - Men's

Item #MHW1177 | 0 in Stock

I'm 6'2", and about 170 - 175 lbs. Long and skinny....

I'm 6'2", and about 170 - 175 lbs. Long and skinny. With a 6'4" wingspan. Think a large might work, or will I need to go with an xl. I often need the length of an XL, but the body of a large. XL's end up being a bit boxy.

Also. Does this have drawcord at the waist? I imagine it does, but it doesn't say so.
Thanks.

This is probably too late for BrayD, but I'd go with the large. I'm nearly the same size and shape (6'3", 190#, long arms), and have massive trouble with sleeve and torso length. As it turns out, Large fits me really well. In fact, the sleeves are very long, I have great torso coverage, and if anything, the chest and shoulders are a bit loose. I won't have any trouble fitting some layers underneath.

BrayD. I would go with an XL in this case. It is a more fitted piece and so even though you will have a little more room in the chest you'll appreciate the length considering your wingspan. And yes... it has a drawcord at the waist. Hope this helps!
