Fit? Can someone please help me with the fit of MH? I am 6', 210 lbs with broad shoulders. In buying my first softshell in several years I can't find one that fits. My problem is that for Columbia Interchange products an XL is too big in the body. So I tried a Marker - same deal; large too snug, XL too baggy. Then I went to TNF and bought a large Apex - too small. Please help me before I do this again and buy a MH product in the wrong size. Can't find them in stock anywhere to try on. I guess I'm a tweener? Since the Columbia folks own/make MH can I assume that the fit/cut is the same? Any advice is appreciated.

I agree with Mike on the sizing. Being a "tweener", something has to give in either the shoulders being too snug, or the lower torso being too loose. As you're discovering, you're going to run into this problem a lot, but MHW should give you about the truest fit you'll find, and not necessarily the same as Columbia- they're owned by them, but they're also still given considerable design autonomy in their products.

Brent, I would think you would be an XL but if you have an athletic body shape the mid-section might be a little loose. The Large will be very snug on you IMO.
