Alright, so i am just over 6 feet tall, and every XL jacket i have seems too short and wide. i am looking for some tall, thin jackets. I searchbarred, and all the threads just really said TJ jacket, which i am looking at, but it is impossible to find in XXL

Any help would be great

not really talking parka length, just something with a longer fit in an XL as opposed to a wider fit

Im 5'9 and my TJ Jacket in XL comes about three inches above my knees and down to my knees in the back due to the longer length in the back. If you want a pic of me wearing it for size comparision I can do that for you. Xl should be fine though bro.

Annyone know of something with the discribed fit, litte taller than most but real technical? Like burton[AK], Norrona, White out or Trew. Because i dont like that most tech shells are so short so wind/ snow can get under it. And if i go like XL or XXL instead of L the fit gets weird and the snowgaiters wont fit.

Though i would much rather support a ski company, Burton's "The Love" jacket is very tall fitting. I bought mine from a friend and it's the tallest jacket i've ever owned.


im sure you could find it for cheaper but theres a link. This is a L on me and i'm 5'7" but my friend whos 6'1" has the same jacket in xl and he loves the length as well. his is about the same size on him as mine is on me.Click for larger image

it comes down to about an inch above my knees, theres a black sweatshirt under it which may make it look smaller than it is. and this pic was for the post your outerwear thread haha. hope this helps

My friend (Purple on ns) is about the same height as you and has XL Saga. It goes to about his knees and he finds the pants huge. I think he has pics in his profile but they make it look smaller then it really is.

I'm 5'8" and I have a large Orage Schiller Pro and it fits like an XL. Probably an XL or XXL would fit.

tall jackets on tall people might make you look super tall and it might look weird.

i actually have saga from this year and last year.
and i've worn a suit from two years back as well.

it's always been shell. more or less the same weight, this year it's just even MORE waterproofing. only difference is it's a little less stiff.

nah, they just fit like normal jackets. a non-tall XL on me just looks goofy, and way too short
