I'm 6'5" and ~200 lbs. I ended up with the NRS Ultra John. After trying out several sizes (one advantage to living in Moscow, ID :-) I ended up with the 3X size. Everything else pulled too tight on the shoulders. They are pretty good about returns, etc. so you should be able to try things out also.
