The North Face Apex Bionic Jacket - Men's

Item #TNF2167 | 6762 in Stock

What size do you recommend for a guy who's 6'3"...

By Ranked #2360 - Men's Softshell Jackets December 29, 2008

What size do you recommend for a guy who's 6'3" and 170lb. with long arms and thin, lanky build. He has a Lg Khumbu and it fits through mid-section and across shoulders, but sleeves and body length of that jacket are nearly too short.

XL, hmm, maybe not. The sleeves are long on this jacket. I find the cut a bit loose also. I'm 6' 2" 190lb with a 35-6 sleeve length and returned a large for a medium. BUT, I like an athletic cut and not loose. Because this jacket stretches, you don't need it loose, unless by preference or heavyduty layering underneath. Remember the collar also...you don't want cold air blowing down a loose one. I would think L as a compromise.
