Small to Big

Ranked #19 - Men's Ski Jackets

This should be a no-brainer to buy but sizing has always been a problem. The old version was annoyingly small in places, especially the arm holes. The new one is way too big in places. I ordered a large and my wife and I could both fit inside. Question: Who runs the Patagonia sizing department? Patagonia should call the sizing person at Arcteryx and offer to double their salary.

I sent mine back - runs huge in the body - even beyond baggy - I think it would be the best jacket ever if they saved some material in the body. Almost perfect...

Totally agree with Jack; ordered the 2011-2012 model and it is huge. I'm sending it back. Bummer :(
