I guess there are a few other similar reviews on here. You don't need a tall columbia fleece unless you are >6'3 or maybe even >6'4. I'm 6'2 and it looks like a tunic on me. For emphasis, that's in the context of someone who's a tall-torso, not a long-legs sort of "tall" person.

Should you pass the height requirement, also take into account the sizing says L for 42-45, but I'd place it on the higher end of that spectrum. I typically wear a 42 jacket and it's definitely big around the torso, although not terribly so.

For your reference, I found a (non-tall) Large to be the proper length, still a bit big in the body. Will update once I've tried a (regular) Medium.

As for the build quality itself... it's a little thin. Seems warm/comfortable/otherwise well constructed.

Update: Medium (not tall) fits quite well.
