I'm 6 ft and 220 lbs. The XL is big enough for me to bring my knee up to my chest and pull my legs up to change my pants. The sleeves are a little too long (as expected). The large fit great in the sleeves but was not loose enough in the torso to easily change clothes.
The pass through pockets and interior pocket for a pee bottle are awesome.
How big is your chest?

47 inches. That said, I can pull my arms inside and make a circle in front of me with my hands holding my wrists. It's a big jacket.

I will only order one if I can get the stitching changed in the back to Mandingo.
I'm 5'11 260 with a 50" chest and the XL is huge on me. I need to exchange it for a large. If I wanted a close fit, I'd have to go down to a medium.
Really they are comically oversized. I bought a Small for my daughter and, although it's tight, I can actually put it on and fully zip it.
If there's a giant in Chicago who wants to buy it from me to save on the shipping costs, let me know. It's green and still has the tags. I've never used it other than trying it on.

My son is setting marks for a regatta on Lake Michigan today and decided to wear his new parks for the first time.
He just sent me this:
This thing is great
For size reference, that's a Large and he's 6'1 and 200 pounds (and 15 years old
).

I picked up one in the exact color scheme as @lowwall's son above. Man are these nice!! Yes, they seem oversized, but when you take into account wearing it over a thick wetsuit or drysuit, they really need to be. I'm 5'8" and 160 lbs. I went with the large and I'm glad I did. I don't want it tight. I want to be able to wear it over me in my 7mm with plenty of room to spare. It feels like it will do the trick perfectly! It should be perfect to fully shield me, in my wetsuit, from the chilling winds we have here in South Florida in the winter. A 5mm or 7mm does a great job of keeping me warm in the water, but when the wind is blowing topside and the temps are in the 60s, that adiabatic cooling from the evaporation off the wetsuit is just brutal.
Dang what a price!
