ok so heres the lowdown.  I bought a bonfire radiant jacket xl, didnt like the way it fit, sent it back. I now need a jacket to wear with Neon green pants. I was thinking about the Oakley Evo jacket in Ozone, But can only find it in Large. Im 6'2'' 175 lbs. I called oakley and they have it in XXl and L. I was wondering if XXL would be wayyy to big. I know you guys will say go xxxxxxxxxl, but i still want this thing to look ok if I wear it to school. I dont want something down to my knees and 2feet to long in the sleeves. Any input on how it fits or if it will look good with neon green would be appreciated. Thanks NS.

your not asking for help. your asking if someone else thinks something your going to buy will look cool. seriously buy whatever YOU want, not what kids on he internet tell you to. why do you need someone else to tell you what to wear?

well ur wrong. i guess the part where hes asking if itll look good with neon green is indeed kinda lame, but hes generally asking about the fit.....which is a completely legitimate question in my books. buttttttt the xxl will be fine. Im 6'2" and it doesnt look wack when i wear xxl jackets with normal street clothes

he did not say that at all. he is asking how something fits relative to his size and his preference. in no way did he ask for guidance on what style should fit him best based on the current fads in skiing aside from the fact he wanted it to look good with neon green pants.

fuck off mate, he doesnt know how big an oakley xxl is.

in answer to your question, i am 6'2 ish and wore and oakley large jacket for a while (you can see it in some of my photos) and it is a bit too short, but wearable. xl is not much bigger, but xxl is a big difference. more gap between xxl and xl than xl and l. i think the xxl should be ok for you though. and it looks sick with neon green pants. its what i have now, heehee.

idk, the top part of the jacket came up to a really weird part of my face. Like right in the middle of it,  that was kinda annoying/uncomfortable. And it just didnt fit like an Xl. My old H/H logan 5 jacket fit bigger as a large then this jacket as an XL. It just felt kinda weird and i didnt really like the feel of it. But my friend that was like 5'8 tried it on and it fit him fine and he loved it.
