5.9...take a look at the Jetstream Jacket over the 90%..the Jetstream has the Windstopper in it.

I have used Sitka Gear since they came out. I, like mentioned above, have from the skin out. I hunt and live in Northwest PA and hunt alot in the snowbelt region of New York. When layered properly, there isn't much weather you can't hunt in. The most important part to staying warm is layering correctly.

If you have any questions shoot me a PM and I would be more than happy to answer them.

I'm going to get a 90% set in the not to distant future because I'm going to start doing back country hunts in the Adirondacks again. the stuff runs a little small so if you can try it on before hand it would help I'm 6'0" and 190lbs 34" waist and 43" chest. I would say you want to be at the low end of there calculations in terms of sizing.
