Hi, I'm looking to buy one of these, but being an avid runner (and short to begin with), I'm cut REAL slim -- 5'7'', about 125 pounds.Would a small be all floppy on me? Lengthwise, I don't have any problems, but I usually find a lot of room inside...and I just want a tighter/snug North Face coat which is becoming a pipe dream (I even tried on the Pnuematic, and that thing was a bit floppy and loose in the back). Or maybe there's a suggestion for another North Face coat out there?

This jacket is cut slim to begin with. I think the small should be fine; I am 5'11" 180lbs and mediums tend to fit well.

the momentum fleece jacket, and the cipher jacket, those are very light tho, which would be prefferable for running right?...i dunno i cant even run in my regular apex bionic jacket (let alone the thermal one!)withought overheating, softshells are breathable but not magical! :-)------------------------I agree with the cipher. Either that or look at the Backcountry Rime pullover. Extreme breathability, water resist with some minimal core venting.
