Tiny Armholes

Ranked #218 - Men's Technical Shells
February 6, 2008
This seems to be a nice jacket except for one major problem - tiny armholes. I bought a large which comfortably fits me in every area except the armholes, which are tiny and uncomfortable. I don't have big arms and at first I thought I just got a bogus jacket, but then I see that someone else has had written on the same issue. There is no way I could zip in a fleece liner or even wear a thick sweat shirt with this jacket. I'll have to return it and look at something else.
