I hastily ordered my girlfriend (5'5" 135 lbs) the MB UL Down jacket and it turns out a small was too small. it fit, but she'd just have to stand still, while wearing it. Not a lot of room to layer under it, or move around. Had she been (okay, more) endowed, well, it'd really be a tight fit. I think that with all Montbell products, ORDER UP A SIZE! . . . So with a "Wicked fast" return policy, in which BC was now out of the MB UL in medium, I opted for the the UL Thermawrap. in meduim, which arrived before they said it would (wicked, wicked, Fast) and she's a happy camper, (even though she's not a camper, or hiker, or backpacker or . . . ) The Therma wrap is nicely cut, with "V-vents" stretch fabric on the sleeves and waist. She wishes that there was an inside pocket, but adds that, then it would be too tight . . . as for it's other, more rugged qualities, they have yet to be tested, but if it says anything, she likes just wearing it around the house and seems quite comfortable, being such a cold=blooded, gal. She's happy and I am too. Remember, go a size up.
