disappointing fit

Written on Nov 12, 2014

fit is too boxy; not athletic (tapered) enough for anybody whose waist is significantly smaller than their chest measurement. And the sleeves are too short. If you're 5'10 and 180 lbs with the average American build, then this jacket may be just the ticket. Too bad there's not a company that caters to the taller/slimmer knuckle-draggers among us. I'm sending it back.

If only the sleeves were an inch longer!

I'm tall and slim. 36" inseam and sleeve, 32" waist. In other words, the perfect hourglass figure. :) Unfortunately, this jacket, which is all-too-often the case with most outdoor apparel, has sleeves in the size Large which would be ideal for a 35" arm. D'oh! So, not sure I'm going to keep it, and have ordered in the meantime another RAB (Microlight) down jacket that hopefully will have the fit I want. This Arete otherwise seems to be a good product.
