Everything else has been answered - thanks everyone!

Just some questions on the collar:

1) size - is it relatively close fitting or a wider one (in circumference)?
2) collar height - close to the chin?
It appears to be a closer fitting, higher collar - which is what I am looking for when zipped up - better wind protection.

Thanks!

i am 6'3" 204. the zipper on the XL comes to right under my chin. as neck circumference goes, i would recommend something underneath, as this is not tight enough to provide complete wind protection around the neck, but it does offer some. for a little more money, you could get a softshell with a hood. i have a personal affinity toward mountain hardwear because of this specific jacket. i like the dragon softshell, but it has different material, fewer pockets and is warmer. hope this helps.

The collar come close to the chin but not right up to it. It also does not fit real close to the neck so wind penetration is an issue.

Im 5'11" and 185lbs I got a large and it fits well. It does have enough room for a fairly thick midlayer underneath.

Hi Christopher, I am guessing an XL is the ticket: I'm 6' 2", ~196 lbs, 35.5" sleeve length. My neck measurement is 16" near the base of the neck and just over 15" just below the chin. My riding jacket has a 3" collar and it's fairly close fitting at 6.5" at the top of the collar. Does that help clarify things? Regards, Marc Marc

Marc, the questions are mostly dependent on your neck measurements. I can tell you that the diameter of the zipped collar on the jacket in small is around 6.5". The collar height when folded up is 3 and 3/4" in front, tapering to 3" in back.
