Beautiful jacket

By Monique Thompson Ranked #520 - Women's Down Jackets March 25, 2009

I am 5'4", size 8 and I orignally ordered a size L. But that was too long in the arms and torso as well as too much material around the shoulders and chest. So Backcountry cheerfully exchanged for a Medium which fits very nicely all around & with room underneath to comfortably fit a hoodie on the extra cold days. Although... this is a VERY warm jacket. I must say though, that in the picture above it looks a little fitted through the waist but it is definitely not. I also found it a little thick on the cuffs to get my mittens over top if that matters to anybody. But that's minor. Very toasty, nice fabric - it repelled the water very well. For my height I did not find the jacket too long at all. It rested about hip length on my 5'4" and kept my back nicely covered. I ordered the green which matched nicely with my Burton Dublin green pants.
