Great jacket

This is a great jacket. If you're a normal size, buy it.
However, I'm a lanky guy (6' 3"), and it's tough to find outerwear that fits right. Although my chest, neck and waist would be medium, I usually go with a size large jacket, and the fit is baggy, but it would work. This large fits my body nicely, but it's short in the torso and the sleeves. So all in all the fit is of... a medium... I had the same problem with the OR Frenzy jacket. So effectively, you guys have just slapped a larger size label on all your jackets, what's the big deal? It's not athletic fit, it's just smaller.
I want to love this jacket, and maybe it's just me, but I don't get the sizing voodoo that some companies are trying right now.
