If I remember correctly he was a Seal and spent several years at the winter survival school house in Alaska
Was he serious?
Yes, he suggested because the Sitka jackets tend to run small and I am 6'2" and 280. I normally wear a 2xl and I bought a Sitka Mtn. Jacket in 2xl. I have a 48inch chest which would put me smaller than there advertised 50-52 chest on that jacket. I got it and the arm didn't fit over my bare forearm. It was so small I am confident I would have needed a 4xl or larger. He admitted to me that some of their stuff runs smaller than advertised and suggested the UA Infil Ops Windstopper Jacket because they tend to run fuller and they also make a 3xl in that Jacket. He did say he thought the 2xl would fit me and it does.
It's absolutely relevant because it shows he has integrity and will suggest a competitors product when something in their line up doesn't work for the individual.
Ok that makes sense. That jacket is tiny, almost by two sizesYes, he suggested because the Sitka jackets tend to run small and I am 6'2" and 280. I normally wear a 2xl and I bought a Sitka Mtn.
