Tall Men's Gear

Sky · Dec 18, 2005, 7:57 PM

Looking for a parka/jacket for my son. He's 6'5" about 225 lb.

I like Cabella's stuff in 2x Tall. All the features (pit zips, removable liner, waterproof, tons of pockets)....but it's too "tame" / lame for him I think.

Cabellas also carries tall Columbia gear. Some options there maybe.

I just came across LL Bean's site. They have a few tall parkas/jackets that look like he'd be interested.

Any other recommendations?

I'm 6'3" and am very happy with the fit of LL Bean products.

I have my third straight ski jacket from LL BEAN. They are very good quality. There are some good colors in there that he'll should like.

Thanks Charlie and Rossi...I figured LL Bean would have quality gear.

I like their web site better than Cabella's. Bean's entire slelection of ski jackets is displayed (as is Cablela's) but as you move the mouse over ea item, it is enlarged and details are available.

Thanks guys.
