Klim jackets?

[RealDeal]

For those of you that have any of the klim jackets, how close is there sizing? Looking to order a new klim/yamaha jacket but not shure on what sizes, I normally wear a large/tall or xl, but the last yamaha flame jacket which was a xl was smaller.

I found they ran a bit on the small size (if you go by the sizing chart they provide). According to their chart I was a "Large" but when the jacket and pants came, I sent them back for an XL. I'm 5' 11" and weigh around 195 lbs.

Ditto for me, 6' and 205 normally would wear an XL but I have the 2xl. I do wear a tek-vest under it though which is why I got the 2xl, not realizing they ran a little small. The good thing is even with out the vest its very comfortable.

They seem to run small, but I wear a tech vest underneath

Can confirm....upsize one especially if you wear any protective gear underneath. The best gear in the west for sure.

Yup go for a larger size. I'm a robust XXL usally but with my TekVest on I needed a 4XL to fit over and it is tight.

Tomahawk style two years ago love it!

I've had the Valdez for 2 years now and love it. Klimate is a good jacket if you like a little bit of insulation already in the jacket. It has 200g while the other two have none. The valdez and tom require more layering in the cold but are also better in the warmer times, more vents and no insulation. Also a personal preference for me was the klimate seems or is a little shorter than the other two. So if you are a tall guy and hate the jacket riding up try on the other two. I see you live in NY if you can wait the Syracuse Oncenter Show in Sep or Oct is a great place to at least try them on in person.

Either way you aren't going to be disappointed it's all good stuff.
