I'm not sure I could wreck this if I tried...

Obviously this thing has high praise but I thought I'd throw my .02 in. First off I got this thing half off retail otherwise I don't think I could justify dropping 500$. The label does say "made in Canada";I know there has been great dispute over the product manufacturing. As for sizing, I am 6'2 210lbs and the large fits like a dream. For those of you who wear skinny jeans and girl shirts you might think that I am crazy but for those of you who use the product as intended and are not just name dropping or making a fashion statement then I would say (at least for the large) that it is a true to size fit. The hood is very big but the cinch cords make it fit just fine especially when I wear a ball cap. The length is definitely long in the back which is great. The craftsmanship is top notch. I do wish there was a second zip on the main zip but thats just being nit-picky. It is definitely a heavy jacket compared to most but this thing is absolutely bomber and a true necessity when you are dealing with the lovely (SARCASM) Alaskan weather with weeks... not hours or days of rain.
