easily the lightest insulated layer i've ever seen! very warm, but do be aware it is on the thinner side - so if you're going below 40F you will want to have an additional layer, either a sweater or windbreaker jacket on top.

i feel like the sizing is as expected. i got a medium, and i'm 5'6" 140lbs, have a long torso and long gorilla arms :P seen complaints about the arm length, but i'm very happy they have longer rather than any shorter!

a few other notes:
- shiny, very shiny.
- dark feathers, you can see them. i got green which is a darker color but you can still see some of the dark feathers - it doesn't bug me, but if it bothers you, you should probably get black...
- LIGHTWEIGHT, as a consequence it does not have weight to pull itself down, kinda feels like it rides up on you a bit. you can use the draw string on the bottom to try and help keep it on your hips.
- no interior pockets
- i worry about the durability, won't be letting my dog jump up on this one! if you're wearing this on the trail, you might want to add a protective layer over it
- my only gripe with the jacket is the main zipper catches ever so slightly when engaging at the bottom, maybe this hang will wear down over time.
