Mountain Hardwear Hooded Insulated Compressor PL Jacket - Women's

Item #MHW1242 | 53 in Stock
2 Star Rating

Runs small

By Ranked #1798 - Women's Jackets November 9, 2009

According to Mountain Hardwear's size charts, I'm an XS, which is what I ordered. I'm 5'2", 105 lbs and small in the bust, but the XS jacket fit me tight in the chest and shoulders. The tightness in the chest keeps the front pockets from laying flat, which makes me look completely boob-less. The sleeves are also short on me. There is no way I could layer anything comfortably under this jacket- it's just too tight. Bummer. I really like the grill color (it's a dark charcoal gray), but they don't have it in the next size up. I was leaning towards the Blurr Nitrogen jacket, but bought this one instead. I'll be sending it back and getting the Blurr Nitrogen.
