Long fitting Ski Shell?

Hey Newschoolers users,
I'm currently riding in a armada division pullover hoodie http://armadaskis.com/product/hoodies-tees/division-pullover-tech-hoody/ in XL, and it's exactly the fit I'm looking for. Now, I'm wanting to buy a shell for touring, preferably 20k+waterproofing, 3L, goretex, etc.... I want this jacket to be in the same fit as my hoodie (team fit long without being too baggy) and in XL. If it were to come in a solid black or something similar, that would be the best option. I found this jacket, but I wasn't sure if this had the long fit I was looking for, does it?http://www.evo.com/shell-jackets/saga-monarch-3l-jacket.aspx#image=70689/344125/saga-monarch-3l-jacket-black-front.jpg
Any suggestions or advice on the jacket I found would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

I'd say the XL Saga Anomie should work fine for touring and the right fit, has ventilation and I believe 20000 waterproof and breathability

Saga would definitely be good, you could also try Planks Outerwear. There fit is pretty long.

The Monarch fit is more like the Fatigue, which is less tall

Is the fit long on their onward jacket? Also, do you have any experience with this company?
Thanks

Is anybody able to compare roughly the length of an XL bloom onward to the XL Saga monarch?
Thanks

If you love the armada team fit, why wouldn't you just get an armada team fit jacket?

Xl monarch is more of a technical jacket, so it's more tailored, blooms is probably 5 inches longer, just an estimate I havnt checked. But I've tried both on

Thanks man,
Are you sure about this? According to their respective size charts, they are both listed as being 36" in length.

I got the bloom xl for 2014, but it was just too long for me.. will the monarch be shorter?

I would return it and ask for a large. The owner is a cool guy who would probably hook that up. But if you got the monarch id go with large, but I'm guessing it'd be shorter

The Bloom large is too narrow for me to layer underneath... I need a jacket that is a longer fit, but isnt crazy slim
