Prefer the fit of the Scorpion

This is an excellent ski jacket, but I wound up returning it and sticking with my Arcteryx Scorpion (Gore-Tex soft shell), as that jacket has a better fit. A Medium in the Sidewinder, even with a thick fleece on underneath, doesn't fit me as closely as the Scorpion in medium, which just seems to be a more form-fitting jacket. If you're thicker through the shoulders than I am (5'10", 180), maybe you'll prefer the Sidewinder.
