I have a question!
Out here in the woods, I cannot find an Epic jacket to try on. I've had my old Epic for about six years and it is now time for a replacement and I want the same dimensions. MH lists the length as "Center Back Length, 29". Is that on a large? My CBL, as it is know in my circles is 26.5" for a Medium. Can anyone tell me how long the CBL is on a medium for this jacket. Thanks and free Yosemite beta for anyone who can help.

Cory and Jason. The CBL is listed in the workbook as 29" and this is for a large. If your medium is really 26.5 that is 2.5 inches shorter than the large. I don't think this is correct. Where did you get your measurement? 28" +/- sounds about right... I will find out the measurement for real and let you know. Any beta on the West Face of El Cap? Heading there soon. UPDATE: It is true. The grading of the CBL across sizes in the Epic Jacket is +/- 1"... so, the CBL of a medium is 28". As I suspected! Hope this helps!

29 inches is for size M. *Also, to convert CBL to other sizes +/- 1" per size.
