I want to order an IDO hoodie for layering under my Guide Wear. Like anything you buy without being able to try it on I am concerned about what size to get.

My Guide Wear Ice Parka is a 2XL,I am 6’1″ tall, 240lbs, beer belly, even though I quit drinking a couple years ago.

I am leaning towards 2XL, but will need room for thermal underwear and a wool sweater. I would guess we have a few more old “pleasantly plump” like me, members who have bought one.

Any sizing help would be appreciated, gotta get ready for first ice you know!

I’d say go with an XL. they run a little bigger.
I’m 5’5 150ish and bought the med. very roomy.

I go back and forth between Large & XL on almost everything (yes, I have a beeer belly too, and well paid for)
I went with the Large and it’s plenty big.
That’s my experience.

Get one of each and give the other to a smaller/larger friend.

I am in the same boat. Not sure what I need for a size. I am 5’8″ 200 pounds. Looking to get my old man one for xmas and he is 6ft guessing 250/ beer belly. What would you guys get for the both of us?

I just got a large one and I’m 5’9″ 180 and I can wear it easily over a turtleneck and sweatshirt. Now I look at hoodies when I’m out at the usual outdoor stores and nothing comes close!

I’ll have mine down to Everts this Sunday in the bait shop.

I’m not sure if you boys will fit into my SM hoodie, but it should give you an idea of what size to get.

For $70 bucks does it come with the exclusive “James Holst Minnow Pocket” in the front pouch??

Looks like XL is the size to go with. Thank you for all your input.

BK, how in the heck can you fit into a small?? You do know it is suppose to go over your upper body right??

It’s not his. It belongs to a certain young lady and he keeps it there for her just in case of an “accidental falling into pool 4” event happens

Way to cool. Sounds like BK may have a small for sale but may have spam stains.
