How does the fit on this jacket compare to the MH Cohesion, the PL Compressor, or the Zonal? I love the fit of the above three, with the MH Cohesion being nearly perfect for me (I need a very trim cut jacket).

Most shells from other brands, even the supposed "trim" fit versions, leave me with enough space underneath for another person. Wondering how the Optimo stacks up against the usual MH fit...any thoughts?

PS. You will find the fit of the Optimo to be very similar to the Cohesion. Both Jackets occupy our Alpine Collection and the fit, hood size, and general design are similar. The Optimo is just made with Gore Proshell vs. Conduit 2.5 layer laminate. I hope this info helps!
