Hi, I'm told MHW jackets run on the small side. I'm 5'8" 150lbs and would like to order the dragon and compressor. Usually I wear a size small shell, but now I'm thinking ordering a medium in both. Any thoughts?

If it helps, I'm 6'5" and about 205lbs and fairly skinny. I always wear a Large in North Face and Marmot jackets, but I tried on a L in the Compressor and it was much too tight. The XL was a perfect fit.

Hi Brian I recommend the medium. I am 5'7"" 155lbs and also wear a size small in most things but find that MHW jackets do run a bit smaller especially in length. I have both this and the Sub Zero SL down jacket in medium and they fit perfectly. A medium would be good especially if you want to throw it on over other layers for rest stops / belaying.

I bought the Windstopper Tech jacket in medium for just the reason you mentioned. The medium came and it was way too big for me at 5'11" 155. Returned it for a small and it fits perfectly. I think you'll be just fine with the small unless you prefer looser cut jackets.
