Size Medium is the way to go, Jan. I'm 6' 185 (fit) and wear a Medium in the Sub Zero Parka.

Just wanted to chip in and say that I'm 5'6"/135 and a size S is HUGE on me. Almost debilitatingly so, even...it's hard to do things while wearing it that require a high degree of ambulation. Mine has high-altitude dinner spill stains on it, for example. I just don't think a size L an a 5'-10" dude would be the right choice. Maybe a medium? Just my two cents...

jan. I would buy him a large. I think this would fit him just fine and he'll be VERY warm. I hope this info helps!
