I have always loved OR. I think they have well thought out products. This is why I am disappointed with this jacket. It is way too thin and the sleeves are crazy short. if you just want something you can pack away in a sack for emergency use only, then it would be fine

I agree, Frontrange. I wear a medium in the Revel and it fits me better than any hardshell I've ever had on. I'm 6ft 180 and wear a 33 sleeve, and the size Medium gives me more than adequate coverage. Awesome fitting shell!!

I'm not sure I understand your sleeve comment. Based on the numbers I have tracked down, the medium is about 33'' long, not 29'' which seems to be an average number. I wear an Arteryx Gamma AR, which seems to have about he same length, and its fits me like nothing else I've found.
