Anybody have one? How do they fit. I'm 5'9, 160 and like baggy gear. Would a large be too big?

I've tried on the medium and large plainter jackets, I weigh 170 right now and 5'10". Go with the mediums...and its a semi loose fit, or at least it is with the liner on too. Moving up to large is a huge difference.

That's the jacket I'm looking at. So, do you think the large would be rediculously baggy? Would you say the medium fit you like the pic below? (I'd like it to be a little baggier than this).

Another picnic table cloth , actually it looks similar to mine but mine is more on the white side than the grey one and without the red.

Thats a nice jacket!!! how much is it?



That one is mine, I actually would like it if it was a bit tighter.


I bet you can't wait till the season starts with all the new gear that you are getting

It's just under $200 on sale, regularly $270. I just showed it to my wife and she thinks it's ugly as sin. She said she would be embarrassed to be seen with me. So, I have to start a new thread asking for people's opinions about the jacket. (Good grief).

Nope! I can't wait! So far, I've got new board, bindings and boots. I plan to also get new jacket, pants and gloves. It's been ten years, so I deserve it!



Btw, I like your jacket too.

I personally like the jacket you are looking at. Your wife might just have an issue with table cloth jackets, I personally love them. Buy something you like and fits right, not what others like.

I want to make sure it's something I can wear everywhere, not just on the mountain. And, if everyone else hates it, who's to say I won't grow to hate it? I think I'll end up getting it, but the wifey scared me a bit with her reaction. I was waiting for "wow, that's a nice jacket." I got "You really like that? I think it's ugly. I'd be embarrassed to be seen with you if you were wearing that."

^^^^ I am sorry she feels that way.

My vote is I like it.

I'm not a fan of patterns like that, but that's just me. (All black ftw!) But if you like it, go for it. As for fit, I've found 686 jackets to fit HUGE on me, even the small sizes.

Edit: Evidently, sleep deprivation doesn't help when trying to communicate. What I forgot to say is, TRY 686 STUFF ON. The fit among the various models varies quite a bit. A small in one model might be too tight for another. It's weird like that.

^ Thanks for the input.
