For those tall and skinny hikers out there.

By Zach Mueller Ranked #2778 - Men's Down Jackets December 9, 2008

This coat is light and warm but shiny and possibly not for the tall. I was first impressed by how light the coat is and how it feels as if your not wearing a coat but a very light t-shirt. After you get over that you will find how ridiculously warm it is. Then you will look in the mirror and say "hey, is this shiny?" After which, if you are tall (6' 4") skinny (190), and ordered an XL, notice the sleeves are just right but the torso is of a 250 lb man (the plight of the tall skinny men). This problem leads to other problems. The lack of drawstrings around the waist and hood lead to gusts of warm air being exchanged for cold air. Don't get me wrong, I will not part with this jacket for many years, just like to give fair warning to those who are tall and skinny...try a large.
