thats gonna be a pretty difficult question to answer im thinking... theres probably not someone the exact same as you that would have that jacket already, but regardless, id say an xl would be big enough for you, but not like huge or baggy really, so depends on what you want
are you trying to buy it online? one good idea might be to try to find a store thats selling them around you online somehow, even if its a different colour a different model of jacket just to see how they fit in general
good luck though

I tried on a oakley jacket last week when shopping for a jacket, xl is good for you and most of their jackets are shells so if thats the case youll have to wear a hoodie under it when skiing.

That's the lowest waterproof/breathability Oakley produces.
