Well if someone (like me) has a similar chest size and height and waist then they can tell you which jacket they have and fit. Only trying to help 🙂

BTW I'll look up my attach jacket size in a mo. I am 6ft, 32" waist and chest size 38"....

It think that if he wears a jacket as shorts he'll still get a wet arse, as all the water will come through the neck hole.

Think he might be trying to sell you a jacket to go with those shorts you want 😉

I have a 32inch waist and have ordered medium, although havent tried any on.

Right I bought this last year:

Altura Attack Extreme Jacket Black
Size: Medium

Fit perfectly - not too tight but baggy enough to wear 1 - 2 layers underneath 🙂

Maybe foxyrider is a jacket salesman and this is a really subliminal message.

Have you considered some shorts to go with your new jacket?

I'm very similar dimensions to you whytetrash, and I went with a medium for the shorts. There's a bit of adjustment either way. Really good shorts outright, but especially so for the money.

I had a jacket too, but due to my chest and shoulder size ended up changing it, but can agree with foxy - they are nice jackets 😉

I'd go for the large if I was you.

I'm a 33" waist but bit shorter than you and I just bought a pair.

They looked big but fit good.

Large will probably be too big. I'm a similar size and find the medium too big, I've taken in the waist as far as it'll go and would prefer them to be slightly tighter.

34 waist here and mediums are fine, slightly on the large size but with the velco straps done up full they are good
