Great coat, odd fit

By Michael Gilbert Ranked #594 - Men's Rain Jackets March 30, 2010

Got this and returned a Norrona Falkentind... The Falkentind was not worth what I paid, and I purchased this as a low cost replacement.

Going from a GoreTex Paclite jacket that retails nearly 5x as much as what I paid for this gave me some concern. So far, I don't regret it at all. Shed water well this morning and stayed dry even in "medium" rain (not quite a downpour).

My only complaint is that the sizing seems to be off compared to other MHW jackets... Small is good for me in Norrona, Arc'Teryx, TNF, (most) MHW, and so on... yet, this one was just too tight in the pits and short in the sleeves. Body fit well otherwise. Returning it for a correct size. I'm 5'9 and about 140 lbs.
