This is a great jacket. I won't use it in serious weather for quite some time, but I don't doubt its performance. Craftsmanship is great. The black and lime color combo looks good in real life...way more functional looking than your average baggy snowboard jacket with whacky prints. I was looking for a synthetic insulated jacket that was lighter than a TNF Nuptse, and less cumbersome than a shell + fleece combo for everyday winter. This fits the bill. I am 5'-9", 165lbs, 34" waist with a slight athletic build. I bought a Large and very happy - exactly the right size that allows layering if I wish to do so albeit sleeves a wee bit long. Very comparable to Mountain Hardwear sizing. I could have gone medium, but it would be a snug fit with anything beyond a thin layer. The wrist gaiters are OK. Great for performance, kinda overkill for everyday use but I'm OK with them. The cut of this jacket is not really designed to be baggy. If that's the look you want, you should look for another jacket rather than size up because the sleeves will be too long and the fit won't be correct.
