Gotta Love It!

By Z. Kissell Ranked #955 - Men's Softshell Jackets November 4, 2009

I want to start by saying, I Love it! Suprisingly warm, breathable, lightweight & super compressible, HIGHLY water-resistant, good-looking, and comfortable. This pull-over is where it's at! Now to the potentially helpful parts that aren't listed in the TechSpecs... Heeding the advice of other reviewers, I purchased the L and XL, just to make sure I got what I needed. My sizing (6'3", 180lbs., 42.5" chest measurement, 34" natural waist)

L = comfortably form-fiting in shoulder/chest/sleeve-length/torso girth; garment length ends abruptly at the natural waistline (this and thin baselayer = perfect combo for running in ANY weather above freezing!)

XL = still close-fitting due to athletic cuts; a bit of wiggle room, allows for more options in baselayer selection; sleeves are a touch longer (not a major hinderance, possibly even useful for reaching overhead without catching a draft); adds 2" to torso length!

Both could work, depending on your intended use... I went with XL, and have been a happy camper ever since!
