Item #NRA0023 | 0 in Stock

Can anyone who bought this jacket help with sizing for my wife?...

By Ranked #611 - Women's Ski Jackets February 4, 2010

Can anyone who bought this jacket help with sizing for my wife? I'm trying to figure out if she is M or an L in this jacket. She is 5-7, 130 and wears medium Patagonia jackets (non-fitted). She usually wears multiple layers underneath..
Thanks!

I'm 5'6 145 and LOVE the medium. I'm usually layer-crazy, but find I really don't need much under this jacket, even when it's really chilly, since it stops the wind and keeps all the water out. I love the tight fit on the powder skirt in the Medium. I found it, ironically, to run a bit larger than I expected.

I'm 5'8 and 135 lbs and I wear L in Patagonia and I got this jacket in L and it's perfect. I wouldn't want anything smaller, in part because I want the freedom to wear layers underneath, also. I like more range of motion in my shoulders. I'd try a large for her because better a bit too big in my opinion for a ski jacket than too small. I love the jacket, by the way.

Mike, based on the information you've given. I compared it to a similar Patagonia item: (http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Patagonia-Powder-Bowl-Jacket-Womens/PAT1173M.html) and if you compare those size charts your wife is a solid medium. This is a European brand and it tends to run long..just something to keep in mind. Great brand, great construction, I think shed love it!
