What is that model?

I'm ''5.6'' and I don't know which size to take... I want my jacket to my knee. In the chart size, a XL sounds good, but some of my friends said that a Large would be to my knee and to don't really trust this chart...

Thx!

LolSagagoon. But seriously, do you even need to ask which is the warmest? The Anomie has the most tech, the Anomie has the highest waterproof rating, the Anomie is clearly, the warmest. And which is the best? Whichever one you fucking want. If you are skiing in New England or the Pacific Northwest, the Anomie will be nice for the waterproofing. But the Fatigue is a sick jacket to.

It's all about what you want man. Don't look for answers on "which is the best?!?" Figure out which you want. And buy that. Sheesh

This is total bullshit. 2X Fatigue is 39 inches, a XL is 36. XL Anomie is 37.5 inches, with a 2X being 40. I am 6'4, and wear an XL Bloom Sage Ecplipse jacket, THIS comes down mid thigh. There is no way that you, being 5'6 wear a 39, or 40 inch long jacket, and it comes down mid thigh.

You sound like a punk 12 year old, so I'd say medium. You look like a douche if its huge

I'm 6'2", and and XL Fatigue is mid thigh on me. You'd look like a complete tool if you're 5'6", and get an XL coat, regardless of which model it is.

As for which is the warmest, both the Anomie and Fatigue are shells. So with warmth, it's going to come down to what you layer with underneath (if you're smart, it's not all cotton).

Just get a tape measure and measure from just above your shoulders to your desired length, and match it the closest with the sizing

Take a tape measure, put it under your chin. Extend it out to the zipper length, then look in the mirror to see where it is on you.

large

I got a fatigue in XL thinking "oh its got a slim fit I'll be fine" Fuck no, that thing was huuge. I like that its big though, so I'm getting a large now. The quality on the jacket looks amazing. I'm so exciting. Customer service is great too.

Large man. Go with the large, you'll still be wearing a bigger jacket, but I'm assuming you want the taller fit, and that will grant you it.
