Shorter and more snug than other Norrona lines

I love Norrona and have a few of their pieces. But the sizing of this one is different from other Norrona lines. I have Falketind Warm 1, size XS fits perfect. So I got this hoody in XS, but it's too short in the back (I'm only 5'6"). It also fits a bit more snug than the Falketind, so that I wouldn't be able to layer anything other than just a t-shirt. I'm also a bit lukewarm on the caviar color - looks kind of like used fleece and zipper color is not as vivid purple as the picture. I did have one problem with the main zipper. As the other reviewer said, it zips ALL the way up to the top of the hood. So I tried it and zipped all the way to eye level - it's pretty weird but really cool, makes me feel like a ninja. But alas, I had the hardest time to unzip it as the fabric kept on getting caught by the zipper. I had to pull off the whole jacket to get it off, definitely not something to try in public !!! I decided to send it back - if the fit were better I really would have kept it.
