ok so im really not sure what to do on this, i just got a xl vader jacket and i love it, but i think it may be too big. im 5'10-5'11ish and it just about hits my knees, maybe a inch or 2 above. my seasons over so i can try it out actually skiing, and i want to know if this is too big to effect my skiing if its almost at my knees. i have a couple trades for a large and im not sure what i should do, the xl looks so steezy but will it effect my skiing? +k for help.

Only if you're not steezy will it affect your skiing.

depends on how silly you want to look while skiing.

im about two inches shorter then you and the xl doesnt effect my ability to ride at all. when i stand straight up its just below my knee caps but when im actually skiing it ends up sitting a couple inches above my knees. the two problems are its too big to really wear tall tees with and it kinda acts like a sail if you're trying to cut across the mountain against the wind. if you like how xl looks keep it, it wont effect your riding.

I think it depends on what size you are used to and Saga's XL is like XXL or XXXL for other outerwear company and like mentioned above with strong wind it puffs up like a ballon (if the thing at the bottom isnt tightened) and super resistant to wind slowing you down and for me I m 184cm and i ve got no problem with XL but sometimes they tend to catch my legs from punching flips
