Is this jacket short? I'm 5'8 and 125 lbs and have a problem finding both coats and pants that fit comfortably. In fact, I feel like I am a "tweener" size. In between small and medium, not quite either. Love the color but wanna love the fit. Also, the part that zips by your face, is it soft? I live in Winter Park, CO and have some amazing powder days that sometimes require zipping up :) If anyone has some input I'd love to know how this coat fits :)

I just bought this coat for my wife, she is 5'9" and 135 lbs. She has a big torso. The Medium fit her great, and she can fit a down jacket underneath it for layering if needed. If you want the jacket to come down a little below your waist and you have normal/long arms, I would go with the medium.
