How snug should this fit to allow for a zip-in? I don't like swimming in my jackets, but I don't want to end up with something that won't allow enough room for something like a Denali zip-in and thermal beneath that.

Stay away from the Mountain Guide! Last years jacket was a MESS! I had one for 10 years which I loved, bought a new one in 2008...JUNK! Didnt seem to be cut as roomy, felt like it was going to rip....returned it for a refund!

Thanks Dave, Now I'm thinking the Denali may actually be a bit too heavy. Do you reckon a Pumori or Khumbu fleece may be a better fit? Or perhaps instead of this shell, the Mountain Guide Jacket?

Hey Ryan, The Denali is a pretty heavy layering piece, so you are going to need some extra room in the shell. I would go up one full size from your normal shell size if you want to give yourself enough room for a zip-in like the Denali Jacket. Hope this helps
