Didn't Fit Me

I can't comment on how well it works, but it seemed like it was made well. I bought it on SAC, tried it on, and sent it back.

I usually have a hard time getting things that fit well. I'm 6'3", 190lbs, and athletic but not bulky. I bought the large but everything was way too short. The torso hardly went down to my waist, and if I lifted my arms, the jacket would lift and expose my belly. The sleeves were too short as well, by a long shot. I couldn't have gone up to an XL because the torso girth and shoulder width was perfect, and anything larger would have been too baggy.

I prefer my clothing to be fitted, and with a hard shell like this, I want enough room to layer a down sweater underneath, which this was perfect for. If you are average hight and prefer fitted clothing, this is the fit for you, but for tall and thin, it just won't cut it.
