Very interesting! Thx.

Yep, my GF (at the time) and current wife bought me a $800 Italian leather jacket while she was in Italy. This thing ain't your momma's leather....it melts in your hands...and I got the backwards zipper. I deal with it the best I can

Got mine on Friday, definitely the gortex type one runs big, the fleece was good, heavy. My family has made it clear they will not be around me if I am wearing it. Someone mentioned here that the hood portion is huge, I think that was an understatement, but for the price, can't beat it. I'm hiking on Wednesday and Thursday this week, we're supposed to have rain, I'll give you an update.

Anyone in the 6'1 185 range pick either coat up? I'd love to get one or both of these but wondering if I would be swimming in the XL.

6'1", 200-ish, suffer from ALA (abnormally long arms,lol). I got the fleece in XL and it fits well. Not too snug but not too baggy either. Plenty of length in the arms, which is usually my problem.

It is in fact a European standard.

Canadian as well. I've a leather jacket I bought in Canada that zips 'backwards'

Hilarious -- I also suffer from moderate ALA -- we should go shopping together, I'll bring the umbrellas . But seriously, thanks for the intel.

Does it count if I think I am that size?

Just got an email from Midway that looks like the same thing on the fleece, $39.95

That's me to a "T", and the XL is large but not baggy. It is the size I would buy again

$18 with the code provided by the op. Midway probably wants another $15 to ship.

The op link is a way better deal but don't knock midway shipping. I know what you are saying, I used to say the same thing and swore to never buy from them again about 2 years back. Check their prices now, they beat brownells often.

So true. IIRC, the box with both the fleece and outer jacket was 9#.

Not if you have a C&R FFL on file with Brownells unless the item might be "on sale" at Midway. However, each company has some items that the other one doesn't carry.
