No need for a new thread

Just wondering if anyone here has experience with the Arc'teryx LEAF Alpha Jacket. I picked one of the factory seconds up in an XL, and tried it on today to make sure it fits before I go ahead and wrap it up for Christmas (yes I bought myself a christmas gift). Before I bought it, I tried on other Arc'teryx jackets at a local store and from their sizing went with the XL. Now one would think the sizing wouldn't be much different, wrong. Turns out the bottom is tapered and ends about 3" below my belly button and looks ridiculously short on me. The rest of the jacket fits great and looks to be a real piece of quality kit. I just cant understand why it is so short in the front. Im wondering if others have this same problem, and if an XXL would be a better choice...or if I just have a freakishly long torso and should be looking at a different product.

Thoughts?
