Softshell / Light Jacket for tall guys?
|
I know I'm not the only person having this problem... looking for a slim fitting softshell jacket that is slim fitting, so it wont' bunch up under a harness, long enough that it won't pull out, or show the world my belly button when I raise my arms. |
|
I've been pretty happy with the way Mammut fits. |
|
Looking into the Black Diamond Crag Hoody, Rab softshell, northface verto micro.. any advice from anybody 6'2 and thin? Any luck finding clothes that don't hang off of you or have 3/4 length sleeves? |
|
Im 6'2 180lbs. 33 inch waist. NWalpine makes clothes long and lean, they fit me well. Tried on the new BD jacket, seems liked a good fit also. The Arcteryx Venta MX is almost perfect, but pricey. |

I have a softshell from Beyond Fleece |

I'm 6' 4". Mammut or Salomon. Been really happy with my salomon softshell, slim fitting, long arms. |
|
I have the same problems. |

EDIT: reading comprehension fail. I just re-read your original post and saw you weren't so thrilled with the softshell selection they have--I won't delete the post in case others are interested in the future. |

I have a Mountain Hardware Chockstone softshell. Light weight, super stretchy with a hood. Fits snug through the body, free in the arms, and it covers almost my entire butt. 6" longer than it needs to be for me. I'm basically average height for my weight (wide, stocky shoulders, though-- 38-40) |
|
Check out Marmot...my tempo seems long in the right places. |

6'3" and 175lbs; I just got a Dynafit softshell, forget the model, but it is a very long trim fit - great under a harness, sleeves stay out to length when reaching overhead. |

if you can find this jacket then get it. super well designed. built for climbing. perfect for so many situations. it is a slim fit with long sleeves. im 6'4" and skinny and a L fits great. when i destroy it i will buy another. |
