I am 5'10" and 150lbs. Brought the Medium size jacket for snowboarding this season. Very lightweight, but extremely warm and comfortable. Great mobility. Kept me warm in temps down to the mid teens and worse windchill. In cold driving rain, the jacket gets a little heavier but keeps you dry and warm. No drafts up the bottom or up the arms. All in all great warmth, lightweight, and mobile. Perfect for athletic outdoor activity. The downfall of this jacket is the zipper. Front pocket zipper broke after 8wks of light use. Main zipper, as mentioned by other reviewer is stiff and I fear may also break. For the cost of the jacket I would have expected the zippers to be more sturdy and durable. Hope to get it repaired quickly so I can use it for a big snowboard trip coming up.
I do not recommend this product.

I've had this jacket for about two weeks now, and am impressed by the workmanship and function of the product. The fit is accurate for the sizing. I'm 6'2, 185 and the xl is the correct size for me. As advertised, the jacket provides good warmth for its weight, and allows great movement which makes this a good jacket for active folks. Only criticism I have is that the zipper is a bit stiff - perhaps it will loosen with time. Otherwise, this is a top-notch product that I would definitely recommend for cold weather activities.
I would recommend this product.

The quality of this jacket is not up for debate. It is sturdy, comfortable, warm, dry, and stylish. My only problem with the jacket is its size. I am 6'3 and I weigh 160 lbs. I took my measurements as best as I could with a piece of string and a regular 8.5'' x 11'' piece of paper. The arm length, and wear the jacket falls at my waist are great. However, I did not expect for the jacket's waist circumference to be so large.
Although the jacket does have straps at the skirt to tighten it, doing so leaves a bulk of fabric at the waist because I do not have the body mass to fill it. It is as if they were expecting only people with huge beer guts to buy the jacket.
While it might not be a big deal for some, I bought this jacket expecting it to be more snug, like my medium mountain hardwear rain jacket, but it is not. So if you have some meat on your bones I would not be too concerned.
I would recommend this product.

Thanks for the comment and review. Did you end up buying the medium then? I'm 6'1 170lbs, so figuring out best fit. Thanks!
