Too narrow in the hip area

By L W Ranked #227 - Women's Rain Jackets August 20, 2009

I just got mine yesterday & sent it back today to exchange for a larger size before waiting to try it out in the rain. I wear a women's large & that size always fits.However ,this jacket gets narrower toward the bottom & fits too snug in the hips because I have wide hip bones. I've seen other reviews saying the same thing. If you're built straight up & down with a narrow pelvis like some junior figures, your regular size should fit but if you're a woman with a large frame & wide hip bones or a pear shape you just might have to order the next larger size.Women who are top heavy may also have to do the same thing.. I like for a rain jacket to have more flare at the bottom & if the extra large doesn't fit right,I'm gonna
send it back & forget the whole thing,which will be a shame since I've heard such glowing reviews
