I'm 6'5" and also find the arc fugitive way too short. This one, the BC Siphon fits really well in an XL for me. I'm pretty lean (93 kg) and do have some extra space in this around the lower torso. the backside drops a little and i can cinch it almost half way down my buttarms are pretty long. my wingspan is exacly 2 meters and the sleeves on this jacket is 2 cm away from covering my knuckles. Amazing neck/chin piece and hood!

I am about the same height as you, and the XXL fits me perfectly. The bottom goes to my waist and the arms are plenty long. The Siphon is a great jacket, but it will not resist the elements as well as the more technical Fugitive due to the difference in materials.

It's not sold on Backcountry.com, but check out Mountain Equipment Co-op's (MEC, the Canadian REI) Slipstream Hoodie. Made out of Windpro, it's nice and long and super warm. Just don't put it in the dryer!
