Oakley baggy fit in a large should be baggy enough, but if you wanna go crazy baggy get xl. I'm 6' same weight as you, and have large Oakley baggy fit. It's not really baggy but definitely not tight at all. These are pants I'm talking about by the way. They'd probably be big enough for you.

I think Burton runs bigger than most companies.  I'm 5'11 and 185 and a Burton large jacket fits me well, not too big, but still baggy.  As for Oakley, I have a pair of pants in XL and they fit pretty big as well.  I know you don't want huge baggy, but XL should be fine.  I'm not saying this as the typical uber-gangster skier because my XL pants aren't too baggy until I open the vents, whereupon more surface area is added and they inflate.  I think for steeze in any size you should go with XL, and if you just want a "not tight" loose fit, go with large.  You're at that odd size that is in between most clothing sizes.

Hope that helped...good luck :)

I know for a fact that XL in Ronin is bigger than their burton XL, so which style were you planning on buying from??

Anyways XL should be okay if you're gonna keep it for 2 years.

get some planet earth stuff, ive had these pants for a couple years and theyre really nice, im 5'9 165 and theyre mediums and huge, so if you really wanted you could go large, but not really neccessary. but theyre the best pants ive ever owned, better than sessions, oakley, or burton. so yea, theres my opinion.

How much do you think you will grow? If you can deal with some pretty baggy gear for now, then you will be fine
