I'm Looking at this jacket or the Alchemy... Which would you recommend? Will be using it for alpine snowshowing and wearing around town.
Also is the sizing for these two jackets the same? If anyone can get back to me it would be great!
I'm 6'1 175 lbs. and 32 inch waist. Which would you guys recommend? and what size?
Thanks in advance!

I'm a huge fan of the Alchemy, but I think for your intended uses, I would opt for the Android for it's more casual, all round fit and function, as the Alchemy is a very slim cut, technical and harness-friendly fit. Either are great jackets, and for your specs, I would go for a large if you plan to layer underneath. You might be a little loose in the chest, but your height is what takes it up a size. A third piece to seriously consider that's a great hybrid between the first two is the Windstopper Tech. I think Jason would agree.
