Wonderful jacket. However, as others mentioned it runs small in the waist and hips. Perhaps it is designed for a taller person to fall at the waist? It also runs too large in the shoulder and back. It should be designed to fit the basic female form; and not so squared off and tapered in the waist and hip area. I am extremely petite, just under 5 feet, 117 lbs; 27 inch waist, and this jacket feels a bit too snug in the waist and hips; and too loose in the shoulders and back; so it tends to ride up when sitting down. Also, TNF should offer the Aconcagua in a longer style to cover the rear. Short jackets are great for sports. However, longer jacekets are better for everydau wear.
