So i'm 6'3" and have the same problem that most tall skinny guys have. In order to find long sleeved clothing (such as ski coats) that actually covers all of my arms, i have to buy something that has a lot more bulk than i have. are there any ski companeis that make slim fitting ski jackets?

i'm 6'3" and 155 lbs. i wear 31x36 jeans.

i'm in all large holden outerwear right now. it's form fitting. slim fit, but not skintight, and the sleeves go past my fingertips and the pants are plenty long. it's longer than my XL oakley stuff.

i got the same problem, and i'm the same height as u and everything. I bought a North Face two-piece thats loose-fitting, but not super baggy, and it works really well. It's kindof a backcountry suit, which is great if thats what you do, but I hit up the park in it and its good too. Really warm. But yea North Face is good and its not as $$ as suits made by oakley and orage and the big names like that.

to all you yelling about going baggy. the baggy that you end up in being our size is a problem because it gets in the damn way or if you like to cruise fast then it starts flapping shittily in the wind. definitely hit up some clothes that are long

bagginess to a certain extent just becomes excess bulge. i'm not trying to hide my height, i ust want a coat that fits well and is comfortable. i don't mind a bit of baginess but too much just makes me look straight up fat.
