Considering a medium?...look here

By Yule & Bellow Ranked #399 - Men's Technical Shells May 26, 2009

This is one small, tight, tapered jacket. Me - 5 feet 9 inches, 33 waist, 180-185 lbs. average build, not really skinny nor fat, just average. I ordered the medium because I am a medium in everything, and I heeded BCs advice "In your normal size, the Stoic 2.0 is a trim, weatherproof shell for fast, three-season alpine assaults."when I put on the jacket the waist was so tight that it was a struggle to engage the zipper. Around the waist and stomach area it is VERY tight at tapered, no room anywhere "nothing gets between me and my stoic" type of fit. it is the perfect length however, a few inches below the waist.going up it kinda fans out, not tight across the shoulders or chest at all, fits like an upside down triangle. Sleeves are roomy but not flapping around, and are great length, not long or short.I have to send it back but my regular size was just too small, I couldnt really move or bend and could not fit even a thermal under it really...its just to small to be shell, but im really bummed I have to send it back because it felt sturdier and more high quality than any jacket I have owned before (gore tex included)
