I am loving this jacket in just the few days I've worn it. I am roughly 5'10" 175 and I ordered a Medium. I was a little worried that it might be too small, but I am pleased as it fits as if it were tailored. It is just the right length in the sleeves and just the right sized all the way around. Just the right size in all the right places. Provides for great movement and is VERY light. It is also thin, so don't expect for this jacket to keep you super warm all by itself. It will block the chill and keep the wind out, but be sure to layer up. It rained yesterday and the water just beeded right off. I haven't tested it in extended rain yet, but I look forward to it. Everything about this jacket just makes sense!
