What type of fit is this jacket. I got the 66 North Iceland Vatnajokull Jacket and it is sweet...very warm, moderately wind resistant and fits like a glove...maybe to much so. The length and sleeve length is great. It fits great around the middle with a tailored athletic fit...however, the chest and shoulders are kind of tight. I'm 5'9", 160lbs, 41 inch chest and 31 inch waist. I really like the 66 North jacket but considering getting the R4. I hear that patagonia stuff runs a little large so I'm not sure what size to get. Also, does this jacket have a neck cinch cord or does it zip up pretty tight? I like the neck to be nice and cozy rather than loose and letting the cold air in. Lastly, how well does this jacket breath. The 66 North jacket is Polartec Windpro and breaths real well.

Get the R4, you'll love it. It's very windproof and breathes well also for a jacket this warm. I think a medium would fit you well, and yes it does have a neck cinch as well as a waist draw cord.
