I'm 6'0" and 210 pounds, and I ordered an XL like I do with everything else.  I know they make these on the large side to accommodate the extra clothing you might wear underneath, but this thing was huge.  Even wearing a t-shirt, a sweatshirt, and a jacket underneath, I felt I was wearing a tent.

I sent back my XL and ordered a Large.  I also switched from the yellow color to the green.  I was originally thinking of also bicycling in the coat, but the bulkiness of it made that impractical, so I went with a color that wouldn't stand out so much watching a sporting event in the rain.

The large fits me perfectly, with or without layers underneath it.  It's not a long coat, which means you should look into getting the matching pants:&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Carhartt-Mens-Lightweight-Pvc-Rain-Bib/dp/B0043D1COS/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Carhartt Mens Lightweight Pvc Rain Bib</a>.  And this jacket is on the heavy side, which is good for the cold, but you might also want to check out their lightweight version of the coat, sans pockets:&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Carhartt-Mens-Lightweight-Pvc-Rain-Coat/dp/B0043D1COI/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Carhartt Mens Lightweight Pvc Rain Coat</a>.

I also like the way it looks, as I would feel comfortable wearing this anywhere.

The hood is detachable, there are buttons instead of a zipper in the front, the three pockets are Velcro, and there is a liner of sorts on the wrist that prevents water from going up your arm.

Overall, for $40, this is one of the best deals out there, once you get the correct size.
