Bought for some extra protection on the slopes following shoulder surgery. Fits great [L, I'm 5'11, 185] snug but not restricting. Was worried backplate would feel cumbersome - it doesn't. I cut off the sleeves below the elbow as I don't need/want those pads.
Tough material, great fit for me, esp. as my legs are a bit on the short side, slide nicely over a thick and fuzzy base layer. A little too blousey around the hips, so I give it a 98 out of 100.

Very comfortable out of the box and super support. I don't get the complaint of blisters near the toe - perhaps they fixed this for 2013-2014.

Got a Patagonia hard 3 layer, but this is much nicer: flexible, breathable, quieter, better fit too. Unless you're a serious backcountry type, ice climber, etc. - and not many are - a soft shell is much better for slope side skiers or boards...my 2 cents.
Keeping 2, one L for spring and one XL for winter layering.
