Yeah oakley tend not to make "tall stuff" like saga for example. They make 2xl for people who actually need the size, not becuase they want it to be long. 2xl is going to be very wide and prob look quite stupid if your not a big guy. Im 5'11 and had a Lrg oakley coat def would not want any bigger, but I dont like my stuff down to my knees, I just like baggy.

Well try it on and you will know, haha. Its hard to say if you weigh over say 180lbs then it will prob be ok, but if your skinny it will prob be very wide and bulky. There quite like salomon jackets, wide but not supper long.

How tall are you and what is your weight... I'm 5'10 and 140 pounds and I rock an XL. I like it, just have to pull the draw string at the bottom a bit to tighten it up. You can check my season edit if you want to see what it looks like.
