Backcountry.com Siphon Primaloft Hooded Jacket - Women's
January 22, 2009
I really love the fit of my Siphon. It has a longer tail and longer sleeves, exactly what I like to keep out the cold drafts. The body was fitted. Perfect for wearing under a shell and it looks great by itself.I think this would be a great jacket for you -- I'm also tall and thinner, and found the sleeve length to be great and the torso to be svelt. I'm 5'8ish and have a medium, and think it's a great fit.

Backcountry.com Siphon Primaloft Hooded Jacket - Women's
January 22, 2009
This will help as a layering option for you. A good base layer, this coat, then a shell is what I recommend.Hey Jennifer, I'm in the same boat as you (always cold). I love this jacket, but it is definitely not something for extreme negative temps (I was chilly with this over a sweatshirt and long sleeves when it was in the 20s). I'd consider this to be more like a water- and wind-resistant fleece, not a sub for a warmer coat.
