Gear Review
The quality was good but the fit wasn't.

Ranked #250 - Women's Softshell Jackets
September 26, 2009
I ordered this for my girlfriend and ended up returning it. She is 6' tall and lean, a small was the wrong size. The body of the jacket fit well but was too short in length, the arms were about 3" too short as well. The medium may have been a better choice.
She has changed her mind about wanting a soft shell in leu of a warmer, more versatile, jacket.

All those size specs for your girlfriend (6' tall) reassures me (5'-4" 125lbs) that this brand/make will fit me just fine! Jacket sleeves are always too long & I have really long arms. Thanks for the details on size.
