It's trew, The only difference between the XL and the XXL is it's a wider waist, the crotch is the same height above the ankles. And I do wear it all over and have had no problems with it. Think about it, you can either wear this and have some wind resistance but just tuck from higher up for jumps to solve that, or you can wear your pants down below your ass to achieve the same level of bagginess, and believe me, that DOES affect your skiing, not to mention the snow that gets in your drawers if you fall. This suit would be perfect for anyone 6'1" and above.
