Great jacket just didn't fit me well

I have the Driclime vest and it is phenomenal for running so I thought I would get this to add to the stash for slightly colder days. I know Driclime is a great material and it would be great for running, but when I tried the jacket on I felt like I didn't have enough belly for it so I returned it. A+ on material and construction, D (for me) on fit. I'm in good shape and have an athletic build but nothing that I think would be unusual for the outdoor crowd that shops here. I'm 5' 9" weigh 165 lbs and normally wear a Medium. It fit well in the shoulders but I'm going to need to up my sucrose encrusted torus consumption before I get this jacket.

This review is great! It stopped me from making a spur of the moment purchase. I have the same fit problem that you describe with almost everything I buy!!! What is with all these "short" but "wide/fat" cuts? From T-shirts to jackets (obvious to me only after reading this) they are all the same!
