I love this jacket, but I'm tall and skinny - 6'4", 175 lbs. The Marmot stuff I've tried on is always too fat for me. Even the new Patagonia slim fit stuff is a little bigger around the belly than I'd like. Any recommendations on a nice product like the DriClime windshirt that might fit me? I'd be interested in a super light uninsulated shell as well.

It isn't quite the same thing, but you might consider that Mountain Hardware Transition jacket or zip-t. I wear a medium in the Marmot windshirt, and I had to size up for the Mountain Hardwear Transition jacket because it was tight through the chest (and definitely not baggy in the stomache). I don't think the Transition is quite as breathable as the windshirt, but it will be more water resistant. Quick update: it looks like Mountain Hardwear phased out the zip-t and update the Transition jacket - its now called the Transition Super Power jacket (you would think that MH marketing could come up with a slightly more... compelling... name). It still looks like a trim fit, so I'd recommend taking a look.
