how snugly fit is this? there's no sizing chart. i'm a small in arc'teryx, small in marmot, medium in 66 north, small in north face... can anyone help me choose one? waist size is 30" (i want the bottom of the jacket to be pretty tight, no extra waist fabric)

not too shabby

66 North Iceland Eldgja Jacket - Men's

66 North Iceland Eldgja Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 March 29, 2007

good jacket. remember this is the high loft power shield. waist is too big for me, although i fit into the 66 North glymur just fine. Both jackets have a sleeve length problem, being too short and they ride up your arm if you try to move your arms around. great overall jacket. It may be best if you're short. More like a casual jacket. No cinch cords anywhere, and i need it at the waist, but neck is skin tight so you don't need to worry about that.

overall, jacket is good

good rain jacket

GoLite Xirtam Jacket - Men's

GoLite Xirtam Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 May 9, 2006

Very soft rain jacket. Feels very much like a softshell, even though it's a hardshell. One of the best rain jackets I’ve tried. The only drawback is you look like you're wearing a bonnet with the hood on. I would highly recommend this product!

MontBell Ultralight Thermawrap Jacket

Rating for this product: 4 May 9, 2006

Such an awesome addition to your gear collection. It's extremely lightweight and you look like you're wearing a trash bag. Not the best thing to wear around town, but if you're going to wear it underneath something, it's totally worth it. Much warmer than it seems.

freaking awesome

Arc'teryx Patriot SV Jacket - Men's

Arc'teryx Patriot SV Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 May 9, 2006

This is one of my favorite hardshells from Arc’teryx. I don't really like the SL jackets, they're not good enough to justify the price. This insulated Patriot SV is also is a little bit cheaper than the Fissions and it has an adjustable powder skirt, which is awesome to keep out the draft and snow. I highly recommend this Arc’teryx product.

not a bad jacket

Mountain Hardwear Alchemy Jacket - Men's

Mountain Hardwear Alchemy Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 May 9, 2006

This jacket is pretty good if you like a close fitting jacket. I really like tighter fitting jackets (thus my Beyond Fleece jacket) but this one was too short for me. It sucked because when I went snowboarding with it, all the snow went up it and got my base layers soaked. It also rode up after some movement. But it's extremely warm and around town it's really awesome. From Mountain Hardwear, I really like the Heliark Jacket (but I think they discontinued it).

excellent jacket

Marmot Sharp Point Jacket - Men's

Marmot Sharp Point Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 May 9, 2006

This is an awesome jacket. For me, I had to pick a size smaller than the other companies for it to fit me. I usually pick medium, but medium was too big for me. Really nice jacket but a Napoleon pocket would have been nice.

awesome jacket

Arc'teryx Diplomat ST Jacket - Unisex

Arc'teryx Diplomat ST Jacket - Unisex

Rating for this product: 5 May 9, 2006

Oh so warm! One of the coolest jackets I have. Don’t machine wash it, unless you have like a wool machine wash option on your washing machine, then I hear they turn out fine, otherwise you're supposed to dry clean it. It's not water resistant, so you have to bust out your rain shell if it starts pouring. It’s quite stylish.
