I'm surprised there isn't any interest in a tall version of this parka. 😜


Agreed but since it seems no one wants a tall size one might as well focus on making as many standard sizes ones so we all can get them ASAP ;)

specifically an additional 2" in the sleeves and 2-3" in the torso!!!!!!!!

Yes... tall please

Aron--make some talls dude!

Us tall skinny peeps need some quality gear!

This ! I hate having to swim in an xl so most coats are long enough in the mid section and sleeves when a medium tall would fit nearly perfect. Cabelas seems to be the only outdoor company making jackets an coats in tall. And only sitka and cabelas make a pant long enough. I have a true 38" inseam and even the sitkas aren't really long enough. Had to bump size a notch in my attacks and guides (non Canadian versions anyway) and still wear them like a hood rat to get them long enough. I'll buy one of these kifaru parkas but feel a tall sized version would be nearly perfect.

Will this be a limited run or in the lineup for awhile? Thanks for the specs.

It sure would be nice if it came in tall sizes :)....an extra 3" in the body and 1.5"-2" in the sleeves. I can easily have sleeves shortened but my sleeve stretcher is right next to the board stretcher....I've been trying to find where they are for many years :)

Relax guys... You do realize that making a "tall" would mean completely re working the way they are measuring, sizing, cutting and assembling the gear. They are probably not IGNORING you, they are likely looking into how much work, cost, and time it would take to add a tall to the list. They are probably considering if it is even needed (None of you have tried the regular one out yet.) You need to realize that it is not just as simple as clicking a computer and out pops a tall model. THey have to weigh the cost vs the benefit of the extra time, material etc vs the number that will actually be purchased. Its not like they are just now coming up with the design for this coat. They have likely been working on it for months if not years, to change now would require an overhaul.

Kifaru is a great company that listens to their customers. Their pack and other offerings prove it. As much as they want to accommodate their customers, they are still a business that has to cover overhead and make a profit.

hey Squeederz - relax...I am good friends with Aron...giving him chit. And it should be as easy as clicking a button--isn't that what our society has come to? C'mon man...it's not that hard...hook a brother up!

Now back to the banter---we need talls.
