Well I just bought a XXL Saga Tim Durtschi jacket on here. It is the very first Tim Durtschi model, the purple one. I'm 5'10, but I like my gear VERY VERY BAGGY!!! Just wondering if this is gonna be to big for me, I'm unsure of the sizing of that years anomie. Thanks guys!

What year is the jacket? I would try to find you the size chart if I knew that. Also if you already bought it just open the package carefully and try it on and decide for yourself. If its not right then sacrifice the money and ship it back.

Did they even have XXL? I thought that was introduced last year. (I've only been following skiing for a couple seasons)

I'm 5'10 and I have tried some XL saga anoime jackets before and they weren't super baggy. At least 4 inches above my knee cap. I also have a XLT FD jacket that is 40 inches long and it comes down to about 2 inches above my knees. Overall if you like baggy then you should be fine.

They didn't offer a xxl that year... That was two years ago when the largest zipper was 38.5 inches. I hope you didn't buy a "xxl" jacket from that year, because you were misled of you did

which is from three years ago. when they had m-xl sizing
then they made this one, still m-xl

then this one was the first when they introduced the xxl

honestly, i would contact the seller and see where the mistake/communication problem was, because there isnt a xxl durtschi model with any purple in it

...seems like a lame excuse or mistake for a seller. thats something that they should be on top of.

also, xl from that year is 1.5" shorter than the xxl

You keep saying this phrase, "too big". I'm not sure I understand what that means. It is not in my vocabulary yet...
