I'm really excited to hear how it pans out for you! The XL looks like a great fit on you. I took it on my thru-hike this summer and it basically replaced my puffy AND my rain jacket 95% of the time. I was so increasingly impressed with it day over day that it ended up becoming my favourite piece of gear on trail especially towards the end of season when it started getting chilly. But I agree with Devon below, an extra inch or two in the zip would help with getting on and off, but like others have mentioned I started getting used to it pretty quick. Great Review Rob! Keep Moving Forward

I just got one on sale and also struggled with figuring out which size to get. I'm a medium with most everything (5'9 and 155-158 lbs) and OV recommended a large after I used their sizing guidelines. I'm glad I got the medium though since as something over a baselayer, it fits me just fine. The large would have been too long and a little baggy. I'm planning on using it for running or hiking during the cold months. I think it will work out well considering its features. I wish there were hand pockets so that I can put my gloves somewhere after they warm up during a run. But I can also live with just carrying them in my hands.
