I've got to agree w/ Brice on this one. I just could not get the thing to fit right. It is big, which is not an Arcteryx trademark for sure. Even w/ a base layer, mid layer, and puffy down, this jacket was still sloppy. There's nothing I hate more than while flying down the hill and your jacket is flapping in wind. Don't get me wrong, I don't want it tight but I want to be able to fill it up if I want. I just couldn't fill this jacket up. Ended up selling on ebay at the end of the season...

Excuse me, the Scarab not the Scorpion. The Scorpion was a women's model from last year.

I'm not sure if people are reading the sizing charts or checking Arc'teryx's website before they purchase but the Sidewinder series, Scorpoin and Stingray are all made to fit big. It's how they're making their ski series this year to allow for layering purposes. Just thought I'd throw that out there.
