Hi all,

If you are tall and don't live near a local gear shop, finding good fitting outerwear can be very frustrating. If you are 6'+ and curious about OR's alpine shells, see below. This is their new Paladin jacket. Or1
First is the mannequin fit: arms at sides, not doing anything athletic. Second is the alpine fit: arms above head to pull down on ice tools:Bleh

Front is 28" chin to hem. The cut would accommodate a full on belay parka underneath. Not a garment for tall people. I'm 73" and 200 lbs. Otherwise nicely made.

For tall sizes that fit actual tall people, I've had good luck with Eddie Bauer/First Ascent.
