Write your question here.. I am 6' 1" and weigh 200lbs with a 32-34" waist. My issue is usually arm length. I wear a 36 arm length in dress shirts. Will this coat work for me? I want it to not be short in the arms, but I don't want to look like I have room enough for another adult to fit inside the coat. Also how versatile is this coat. I had an eddie bauer uninsulated goretex shell that I could wear without any other layers from summer to winter until it was stolen. Thx

John, I'm also 6'1" and weigh 185 -33 waist. my dress shirt is 34/35 and i get away with a medium in the Venture. I could go to large, but the medium is a more tapered fit, and the arm length is fine, so i bet a large would be good on you. this is also a shell jacket like your Eddie Bauer, but it's not gore-tex, so it may not be as breathable as a true eVent or Gore shell. this jacket has pit zips which help a lot for venting. i'm able to wear mine over layers like a merino baselayer and a fleece mid layer no problem. cheers!
