is it fitted or loose fitting?

designed to be loose fitting

I order mine as Loose fitting. I like a size larger so I can wear a sweatshirt underneath. I live near Lake Michigan, and it gets damp & cold here. I am usually very warm and unless its windy or below 20. I seldom wear a shell over the top. Combined with a thin soft shell, the combo keeps you very warm. If your stomach is larger than your chest, order a size larger or it may be too tight in the waist. -------------------Fitted or loose depends on what size you buy. I got mine a little small for me because I hate bulk when I'm climbing. There's enough room for a base layer or a really thin mid layer underneath mine, but that's how I like it. The piece stretches and moves with me as I'm placing ice tools.
