These run very small. I had to return mine even though it was a Large (and I am normally a medium). Too bad. There was a lot to like about the jacket except for the cut/size.

I've been hiking every weekend in the Wasatch Mts of Utah for 3 winters and only twice have I needed anything more than YakTrax, and that was because the snow was deep and required snowshoes instead of just traction. These are perfect for the outdoor enthusiast who gets out a little later in the day after the trail is partially packed down. My YakTrax never leave my car. They are lightweight, compact, easy to put on and take off, and far easier to walk in than snowshoes, which I see a lot of people clomping around in along the exact same trail conditions that I swiftly hike in my YakTrax. Two caveats: (1) Glance down at your feet every now and then because sometimes they come off your feet, but not very often. (2) not good in rocky terrain because they will tear.
