The same question seems to pop up all the time... sizing? The size guide doesn't appear to be attached to this item so I'll ask the question again!!!
I'm 6', 200 lbs. Have the MH Beryllium jacket in XL (a slight bit too big) and the MH Absolute Zero Parka in L (sleeves a bit short). I wear 34"x36" jeans and generally get MH clothing in L. I'm edging towards L in this item unless someone out there can convince me otherwise. I will be attempting 8000m+ so will be wearing it with the usual layers underneath.
Many thanks in advance.

The Paulie. Thanks for your question. Based on the info you've provided I would say a large would be the right size for you. XL would be annoyingly to big especially at 8000m dealing with a harness, fixed lines, or whatever else you encounter. Large would be it. I hope this info helps! Have a blast climbing, be safe, and make good decisions! Cheers!
