This is my favorite hoody. I initially ordered the Men's version in a Medium about a year ago and misplaced it about 3 months ago and have been direly missing it ever since. It honestly feels like a long lost friend giving me a hug - I forget I'm wearing it. It's loose, but not baggy. I'm 5'7", ~150lbs, long arms and broad-ish shoulders and wasn't sure which size to go with and ordered the Large first because I didn't want any restriction of movement - was afraid that being a Women's style it would be more trim fitting around my shoulders and midsection than the Men's version which I loved for it's loose fit. The Large was too baggy and felt boxy around the mid section, sleeves were loose around the wrists. The medium is just perfect in those regards and not at all restrictive, I love that the sleeve cuffs have a bit of elastic in them to be able to push up a couple inches and have it stay in place. I can't speak to the durability of this new Women's version as I am writing this on the day it arrived - but I can say that the Men's version that I lost held up strong after a year of almost daily use and hang-drying. Icebreaker absolutely nailed it on this hoody! (Also, just a side note, Zack - the customer service rep that helped me out with the exchange (as well as many others I have spoken with on the phone) and making sure I paid the same price for the Medium even though it was no longer on sale was so polite and helpful, I really appreciated that and it makes me want to continue to use Backcountry for finding the perfect gear)
