hi im 6 feet tall and want to get the b dog jacket.
but... i can't decide wheter i should get xl or xxl.
would xxl be oversized and bother me when skiing?
i did see some other threads about the jacket , but that didn't really help me.

thanks for the help.

Definitely get XXL, that's the same size that Phil wears, but I think he's about 5'7" or 8"

Hey man, i just bought my B-Dog jacket last week-end it's just an awesome jacket. I'm 6 feet 2 and i bought a XL. It goes about 10cm over my knees. I think you should get an XL because the jacket is really puffy and baggy. But if you like very baggy, then go for the XXL

Yeah, he is 5'7" or 8", and he is a good skier.  But that doesn't mean the jacket doesn't look ridiculous.

OP, I say go XL if you don't want to look too ridiculous when not in the park.

the difference between the two is only two inches so it wont matter much

XL is a 35 inch zipper

XXL is a 37 inch zipper

i would get the xxl if i were you

Yeah that's right. If you get XXL, you'll look a bit ridiculous if you wear it in the everyday life. I actually wear my XL just when i ski because it's too puffy. Also it is a very warm jacket so just a couple of Tall tees under this jacket and you'll be fine depending on the weather.

It doesn't look that rediculous... And if OP gets XXL, it'll be 6 inches shorter on him then Phil, probably a little higher than mid thigh or at mid thigh. I still say go with XXL

thanks very much for all the replies, but i didn't really made up my mind yet.
from what i read, the replies are opposing, so that doesn't make it very easy and i didn't see the jacket in real, only on the internet.
i also do some off piste and from what i read i should get the xl than or is xxl not really a problem off piste? the only thing that makes it for me hard to choose is that im afriad it will be way to baggy and long, and will look like shit and be very uncomfortable, or is this really not the case?

thanks

If anyone wants a BDOG in yellow XL there is one left at a shop near me. I know they are hard to come by for some of you, so just pm me if you're interested in me picking it up!
