This jacket is super lightweight for the size and super warm. I'm 5'8" tall/150 lbs/38R chest and the size Medium fits me excellent. I got the Black color which looks great with it's neon blue lining. The jacket, when not cinched, is longer (down to mid thigh) than I'd expect which is great for providing coverage but it can also easily be cinched up and worn with the hem at the waist.

Unless you zip the central zip up those velcro tabs won't stay close-especially the velcro at the hem which just stays open and never really catches. I would have also wanted an extra zippered pocket on the inside chest for my mobile device even though the two mesh bucket pockets are enough. I also removed the bright orange zipper pulls on the pockets. They were just too much for me.
