great jacket, but had to return

By Ng Ranked #285 - Women's Jackets August 4, 2009

i was looking for a jacket to climb with in case i got caugt on a cold belay. though it lacked a hood (i like one that goes over the helmet), it had pretty much all the other features i was looking for. sturdy ripstop waterproof material with primaloft insulation. had double zippers (good for the harness) and pockets a plenty. so why did i return it? it was too short on the torso! i'm 5'5" and about 110 lbs, so i tried both the XS and S. XS was fine with arm length, but the length of the jacket was too short and allowed drafts to come up. the S was still too short, and didn't hug my body as well... even while sitting around camp, i felt a draft on my lower back. what a real shame. had it been 2 inches longer, it would've been a keeper.
