Great Technical Piece, but Careful with Sizing!!!

This jacket is the best--waterproof, very breathable and great range of motion. Perfect for climbing and skiing and whatever else active you can come up with. I must comment on the messed up sizing. I have this jacket in an XS and it fits perfectly. I have room for one or two layers underneath no problem. I am 5'10" and 145 lbs!!! I have never worn XS anything in my life. Even in Patagonia I am normally a medium or large in everything. Be really careful with sizing on this one. Otherwise, it is an awesome awesome jacket.
