Great Jacket, Strong, Warm, though not bulletproof

But if you want bulletproof, you shouldn't be buying an UL puffy from Mont Bell! This jacket has served me very well over a range of uses, from a warm puffy for camp while backpacking (works great as a pillow or sleeping bag supplementer) to a puffy-layer for the summit on a pac-nw volcano.this seems to be the only photo I can find with this piece on, but swear, I wear it a ton when its cold!I did find that a second tool stored in a gear loop on a harness was causing some abrasion and fraying where it was catching a sharp edge on the jacket. but I mean, we're talking sharp metal edges against this thin-feeling material, and it only made it look fritzy, didnt even rip it!

lance I am pretty sure i have a size medium. I wear small in a lot of stuff but then medium if the brand or item runs small. for reference I'm 5'8" and 150# (maybe i should drink a bit less beer..that number slowly creeps up! nah i'll just eat less, keep the beer the same). cheers

I'm trying to figure out which size to get like everyone else it seems. What size is this gunmetal one you have on?
