I just bought this jacket and really want to love it, but I can't quite understand the cut of it. I'm 6'3", 210, with a 43" chest & 36" waist. Basically tall & slim. I have the "XL", and the arms are quite snug, but the body of the jacket seems to have much more room in it than I can fill out. When I sit down it looks like I'm pregnant. Would the "L" fit me any better? The sleeves on the XL are right about perfect length and I wouldn't really want to sacrifice the 1" stepping down a size...Other than that the features are great! Awesome hood, chin coverage, really long in the body, removable powder-skirt and it looks very durable. The lack of hand-pockets is kinda weird though.

I'm similar in size - 6'2" 200lbs - and have the Large. It fits great. The sleeves are just right for me (both length and width) and there's enough material in the torso to fit my choice of fleece, softshell, or down underneath it without getting tight. Without a jacket underneath I don't feel like I'm wearing a tent either.
