This is my first TNF and it definitely is a great one! The stretch capability is amazing! So, good for my needs (running).
I would suggest getting a size down because it is pretty roomy. By my measurements, I think I would have qualified for a small, but got a XS to be fitted. To be honest, the XS is actually like a small. Just shorter. I would recommend the XS only to short people like me (5'0-5'4). Taller skinny people would hate it. It fits me perfectly (XS), length-wise (but I have a short torso). This jacket is pretty roomy, I wish they would fit it a little more, but other than that I love this jacket!!
The elastic on cuff really helps as well as the cinch cord to seal out wind. When layered with a fleece or underarmour, this jacket can do amazing things in the winter! As for summer nights...perfect!
By the way, the sleeve length is not too long, just right. This jacket is a little thin, but does a good job of blocking most wind and breathes as you work out and move.
Bottom line= great running jacket for 3 seasons (with layers in winter), breathes, stretches, resists most wind, keeps one dry in light drizzle. Cons= runs large (I can fit a sweatshirt underneath and I'm not even that skinny!), maybe too thin (perfect for my needs), short torso for tall peeps!

Overall, great jacket! (Black is nice, too) Not to mention the service was fantastic and it came really quickly with the free shipping!! Thumbs up!
