First off, I'm 6'5" (1.96 m), 200 lbs (91 kg) and have an athletic build. I ordered size Large Tall.
The
Fit: The fit is reasonably good. The shoulders fit very well, the chest
has enough room. The body length is good and this is the first jacket
I've had in a long time where the sleeves are sufficiently long. The
sleeves also are large enough to be comfortable moving around. The
mid-section doesn't fit as well. Like many tall sized clothes, the
assumption seems to be that if you're tall you must also be big.

It
would be nice if it came in an inch or two from the chest to just above
the waist. This isn't as bad when wearing a sweatshirt or sweater, but
when just wearing a t-shirt or dress shirt it is almost too big. I
decided to keep it anyway because it's hard to find a tall jacket that
is tall enough, and even though the mid-section is big, it doesn't look
worse for it.

Features:
This is what you would expect from a softshell jacket. It is warm
enough to work for temps just below freezing, maybe lower if you layer.
It is not as wind resistant as I expected, but isn't bad. I haven't
tried it in the rain yet. The pockets are large and insulated, so they
will keep your hands warm.

Overall it's a solid jacket. It is more comfortable than the LL Bean jacket it replaced, and $40 cheaper.
