Im getting a new jacket but im unsure whether to get an XL or XXL evolite jacket. I am 6'2" and weigh 175 and I have a long torso. I currently have an XL burton jacket which is a little small so id like to get something bigger, XXL seems reasonable, but id like to see some pictures of people my size wearing their XXL oakley jackets to get an idea of how baggy its going to be. Btw I dont want to look like Im wearing a dress and/or look like a park rat. Any help/info is appreciated, thanks!

not sure if its true or not but i heard burton sizing was bigger than oakley?

so i'd say probably 2XL

but just go to a store that has any oakley jackets...as long as the jackets are from the same year they usually fit the same

I'm 5'10" and 140. The medium jacket fits me a little too perfectly, so for me I would go with a large. For you I would go a bit bigger than you imagine.

Yes, Burton is bigger.

If its baggy fit, get XL. but if its regular fit just go for the XXL. I'm 6'3 165lbs and i just bought a Oakly Puffy layer jacket. Its regular fit and i got it XL and it fits perfectly. Plenty long on the torso and sleeves.

It would also depend on the jacket - i.e whether it is standard fit, park fit, baggy fit etc.

i'm 6 3 and 170 and i got the oakley crash in large, and it definitely fits baggy enough for me (to mid thigh)
idk about the jacket ur getting, but if it says "baggy fit" then go with the smaller size cause it'll be big

People on newschoolers are funny.  "I'm 5'5'' and wear oakley xxxl, and it fits perfect"  It does not fit perfect.  It's baggy as shit.  If you like drowning in your clothing then it fits perfect.  I'm not knocking baggy, don't get me wrong.  I wear some over the top pants in large.  Theyre plenty baggy and I LOVE them.

No worries. Reminded me of the hilarious conversations with the boys on the chairlift.
