great jacket! i am 5'10" and 185 lbs. and wear the large. this is my winter mountaineering shell and can layer up with several layering options with this including primaloft and puffy down. the fit is long in the torso and sleeves, but this is a good thing when reaching and lifting arms overhead. i like the snowskirt option and that it has a storm flap over the front zipper. i also like the fact that you can zip yourself right up in this thing like a turtle in its shell. the hood has good adjustability and accommodates a helmet well. i would buy this again if needed. if you want to feel like superman in the elements, this is the jacket.
