Wasn't sent correct item, issue has not been resolved

I received a women's "Distance Wind Shell" (seems to be a very light wind jacket) instead of what I ordered. I chatted with someone online on Saturday 11/25, that said they would send out the correct item on Monday, and email me confirmation. I haven't heard back or received any confirmation yet. I emailed early this morning, Weds, 11/29, and still waiting for this issue to be resolved.

Solid build

Haven't been able to give it a full test yet but it seems very well built. Love the stretch and sizing is perfect for layering since it doesn't appear to offer anything for insulation which was expected from a shell. I'm between a large and XL for most shorts and jackets. The Large leaves plenty of room and sleeves aren't too short which is usually the case for me. I have fairly long arms for my build. 6' 210lbs

Exactly what I was looking for

From the fit to the high water proof rating, this jacket was exactly what I expected and more.

Runs big

I’m 5’9” and 170 and I was swimming in this jacket. If you’re looking for a more tailored fit I would suggest sizing down.

Awesome Shell

Another amazing shell from BD! Perfect balance of water resistance, warmth and stretch. Love the hood and arm length for ice climbing, touring, resort etc....

Love it

This is my 4th or 5th BD ski jacket. Can’t say enough good about them. Glad I spent the extra on the Pro. This is a solid jacket. I’ve used it once and already can see it’s going to be a game changer for blustery days

great jacket

I'm 5'10" 155lb, and the M fits nicely with enough room to layer. Would recommend.

Excellent Quality

The quality of this shell is what you expect from black diamond. The arms are a little longer than preferred but not by much. I’m 5’8 205 pounds with a 43 inch chest and a 38 inch gut and the XL fits well. If you have a bit of a guy, and say you have a 42 inch gut measurement, I’d tell you that an XL will be tight around the mid section.
