Pretty Sweet. Im 6'3" and 170 pounds. got and large and extra large. pretty certain im goin with the large. nice and slim. put on a base layer and fleece and it fits over perfect. nano puff would fit under there if you wanted. long arms...if youre wearing gaunlets then i will have to make sure theyre pulled deep down inside the glove or else it would be clumpy in the arms. i worried it wouldnt be long enough because center back length is advertised at only 26.5". compared to sabre sv at around 30 but it seems long enough. i got the large in black and the xL in blue. didnt look very hard at the blue one before i ordered because I now realize the zippers are purple...looks good though. there is some mesh on the inside of the chest of the jacket and you can see this print on the outside of the blue jacket. but not because its transparent. dont ask...i dont know. hood is big and fits my large or xL mutiny with decent range of movement. pit zips are a little bit small but at least theyre there. ohh and the zippers always need help, even the main zipper. you have to straighten out the fabric to run it. im likin stoic gear because barely any companies make slimmer gear. got the vaporshell a while back and its an amazing fit. also in large. s+c. has anyone seen the bombshell on steep and cheap? id love to get it for half price.

I bought one on "steep and cheap" last week for $140.00. First time I've seen it on there and I see their sale pop-ups all day on my computer when I am working. Did not know much about it, but I work with Mtn. Rescue, am always looking for that orange color, and need something indestructible, and after reading the reviews, sounds like this will fit the bill!
