Oakley Anorak Length...not long.

So i got my XXL turquoise Fari Jacket today from Oakley thinking it would be massive since its "extra length" . sadly i opened the package and found an average sized coat which at my height (6' 0") wasn't tall at all, so i got my tapemeasure out and saw it was only 35" zipper length. Is it just my freak one in a million shrunk coat or are oakley anorak length coats all this small?

35" isn't average. 32" is considered average the length just to let you know

yea 35 if its a hoodie but the zipper comes up all the way to the chin, so its pretty short, as short as my old XL quicksilver jacket.

Dang bro.  I am 5'10" and I think a 32"-33" zipper is a baggy/long fit.  I would partially agree though if I were you I might have thought that a XXL long fit jacket would fit longer than almost any XXL.  But hey, I bet there are tons of NSers that will buy it from you :)  But on a more fun note, pics?  I think the Fari in turquiose looks sweet - interested to see it on someone other than a photo model in a studio.

35 inches for an xxl long cut jacket is pretty small. Orage's xxl long cut is 37, saga xl is like 38.5, first drop xl is 37 too i think. I am 5-9 and I have a 37 inch hoodie that goes a little over my knees.

I have an anorak fit in last year's line and I can assure you that it's huge! I am 5'9'' and I have an XL and it's crazy big. You should write to oakley about it, just to see if they shortened them up this year, because yours looks small for sure.

My sleeves go down about an inch or two above the bottom. That sucks man, maybe see if you can get a refund on it, just curious, how much did you pay? I got mine for 300 Canadian at my local shop, I thought it was supposed to be way more.

all of you guys are dumb (well, some of you)

a 35 inch sweatshirt is COMPLETELY different than a 35 inch jacket.

a sweatshirt zipper goes to the bottom of your neck, a jacket zipper goes up to your chin, an extra 3 inches.

therefore, a simple math proof:

32 inch (zipper length) sweatshirt = 35 inch (zipper length) jacket

my large loubet from last year (the one jossi wore) is super tall, i'm 5' 10" and it fits me pretty big, not ridiculous or anything but pretty baggy. Seems like they shortened them up?
