Sending these back -- the sleeves are so short on me that the thumbholes are about 4 inches away from my wrist. (Not a great fit across the chest, either, and I'm quite average there.)

This cami seemed like it would be reasonably comfortable -- and I liked the blue color -- but I didn't like the way the cami looked on me because it flares out at the bottom. If you have a shorter or average-length torso, maybe the flare would hit at your hips and look fine. I have a longer torso, so the flare at the bottom of this cami just looks silly (it's significantly above my hips). Oh well.

I got my first pair of these Cap3 bottoms last year, and I love them. They're comfy for sleeping in, and I wore them cross-country skiing (under a light shell-pant). They're almost too warm for cross-country skiing, unless it's a really cold day.

When these went on sale this summer, I ordered a 2nd pair... but sent them back. The legs fit about the same as my first pair, but the waist was huge. Maybe a manufacturing problem? Dunno. Still love my first pair.

This jacket's fabric is the thinnest I've ever seen in a jacket -- it's kind of neat, really; almost like paper. I want an extremely lightweight jacket to block wind when I'm cross-country skiing on very cold and windy days. My current windbreaker (a Swix, which I like very much) is great, but I end up overheating sometimes. The OR Synapse jacket really is super-lightweight, and might work great, but I didn't like a couple things about it. It does run small; if I'd liked the jacket enough, I would have exchanged it for the next larger size. But I didn't. (1) This fabric is LOUD. Usually, when I say a fabric is loud, I'm referring to a garish color or print. In this case, it's not the look; it's the sound. It's way louder than your average nylon-shell swishing sound, and I think that would drive me nuts while skiing. (2) The cinch-cord doohickey for the hood is in the back of the hood -- so it's hard to reach and hard to work; *and* it looks seriously dorky to have that... that... that *thing*.... sticking out the back of your head. What was Outdoor Research thinking?

This wool top fits well and is very comfortable. (I felt just the teeniest, slightest itch at first, but that went away.) It's a great base layer for cross-country skiing, and for ordinary wear, under regular clothes, in the winter. Sleeves are long enough (not always the case for me). The top is form-fitting (without being restrictive), so it's good to wear under turtlenecks. I'm an Icebreaker convert.

I ordered this in a Small and a Medium, thinking I'd keep whichever one fit and send the other one back, but I wound up sending both back. Too bad, 'cause the fabric is fabulous.
The S mostly fit, but was too tight across chest & armpits. The M was looser, but still tight across chest; and the neck was too big for me in that size. "Too tight across the chest" is something that I rarely have occasion to say (I'm in the A-B range in bust size), so I found the fit/design a little puzzling. Not right for me, anyway. But the wool was soft & comfy.

I tried this skort in a size 4 and a size 2, and sent 'em both back to Patagonia. The 4 falls off me; the 2 is too tight across the butt & too big in the waist. The rise is just... odd... for a skirt. Maybe 20-year-old women like skirts that are so low-rise they barely go above the hips -- that seemed to be the style everywhere this summer -- but I'm not fond of that look in general, and definitely not on me (age 47). Also, these low-rise skirts and skorts look terrible on someone with a long torso, like me. Seriously not flattering. I don't like skirts or pants that are "high-rise," but I need more coverage than these low-rise clothes provide. Harumph. The search for skirts or skorts continues.

Really loved the fabric -- it's very soft -- but the skirt runs big. According to the Ex Officio size charts, the Small should have fit me, but it was *huge*. Big enough that I doubted that an XS would fit me; and I didn't want to spend the $ on return shipping if it didn't. One minor thing: Generally I like it when longer skirts have slits, but on this skirt, the slit is off-center (above the right knee), and that made me wonder if I had the thing on right. (OK, so I'm easily confused....) If you order the skirt, get it at least one size down from what the Ex Officio sizing chart says.

I tried the Small in this skirt, based on the Ex Officio size chart, but the skirt was huge on me, so I returned it. Seemed like a nice enough skirt -- a bit sheer, so I'd wear a slip with it -- but I wasn't motivated to try the XS size. (Wasn't sure if it would fit; wasn't sure how much I liked the crinkly fabric, or if I liked it $50 worth.) Might be great for someone else; just order down a size or two.

Very cute dress, but I'm right smack in between sizes, so neither the Small nor the Medium fit quite right. The dress is very clingy -- you'll want to wear Spanx or something similar under it so you don't have those tacky panty-lines showing. I didn't think the shelf bra provided much support or coverage. I don't need much in the support category, but I'm a little prudish about coverage. I could fit a strapless bra on under the Medium dress, but that size was a little too big overall. Bummer for me; it is a cute dress, and I say that as someone who hardly ever wears dresses.
