Karpos Alagna Plus Evo Jacket
Plus Evo stands for fantastic insulating properties PLUS ever EVOlving technical materials. That may not be totally true, but the point is that the Alagna Plus Evo is a technological dynamo that is ready to rumble in cold, nasty conditions. If you prefer to night ski or day tour, dawn patrol, or chase the evening light, the Alagna Plus Evo jacket will reliably keep you warm. To ensure this reliability, Karpos integrated Polartec® Alpha® insulation in the chest and upper arms of the jacket. The same areas are windproof, water-resistant, and breathable, made with K-Shell fabric. Unlike other jackets that are bulky and restrictive, Karpos has utilized their Thermo Drytex Plus fabric in the lower arms and back for great mobility that still has a trim fit. Even though this jugernaut of a jacket is loaded with great technical construction and materials, it is very lightweight and designed to be close-fitting. The trim of the waist, wrists, and hood are elastic to ensure no snow can easily creep up your sleeves or down your neck. With two large zippered chest pockets that each have two internal mesh pockets, this jacket offers a lot of extra room for your skins, wax, sunscreen, and snacks. The Alagna Plus Evo Jacket is lightweight, simple, technical, and is sure to hold up against the elements.

Questions & Reviews
I'm 5'11" and the XL Alagna Plus Evo is a bit tall for me. I think it would actually fit you quite well judging off of that, but you could also look at the Millet Pierra Menta jacket.
According to the Eric The Karpos King, the fit is the same throughout those two elegant Italian pieces!
