I had two questions about this jacket. I am 5'10, 135 lbs, what size would you suggest? A medium or a large, I am very skinny, but I have longer limbs. Also, this jacket will require layering for wintery conditions correct? There is no insulation.

You could go below zero with a fleece and midweight base layer, especially if you are moving.

Hey Jon, I had another question, layered with a polartec fleece and a midweight base layer, how cold do you think this could go?

Erik. I would suggest a large. A medium might fit if you have a shorter torso for your size... but, for length I would get a large. It will be roomy in the body but I am sure you have experienced this before. Hope this helps!

Couldn't tell you on the sizing. I suggest breaking out the tape measure and find a friend who will measure your arm (from the centre of your back to a wrist with a slightly bent elbow), then checking the sizing chart here to determine the closest fit. You're right about the insulation, though. This is just a shell. Layer it with a fleece or maybe a down sweater for those really cold days.
