By Ranked #1775 - Men's Technical Shells September 23, 2010

I know that as an event shell this should be good to go against most elements but the description also refers to summer excursions, If I layer, this thing should be good during the fall/winter correct? I am also 6'3 and 185 (lean/tall) would you recommend the L or XL (I like things form fitting but i also want to be able to have some layering options.)

Cheers

Alex, if you get the XL you should be able to layer with this shell. I am not sure of your torso height but the cut is belt level to me. Keep that in mind as to what type of activities you will be performing during the winter months. This will keep you dry and warm with a layer system in place.

Alex, greetings and thanks for your question. I think you are correct. The Momentum being 3 layer eVent, you should have ample weather protection. The Momentum is pretty lightweight, if you plan on layering appropriately based on what Fall/Winter conditions you could encounter you should be fine. The shell will only be providing weather protection, and you will be relying on your layering system for insulation. I would probably go XL in size based on your height and giving you room to layer. I hope this is helpful and enjoy your season.
