Runs small,
By Handyman
Ranked #845 - Men's Softshell Jackets
August 21, 2009
I am 5'8", 135 lbs, slim build. I bought a small jacket and ended up returning it. The small fit me OK, it was not skin tight but there was zero extra space- no room for anything other than a base layer without an uncomfortable body-hugging fit.
I am just writing this review to give people a heads up on the size. If you plan to layer at all with this, I would definitely go a size up.
