Nick G's Review of FlyLow Swindler Jacket - Men's

I bought this jacket (XL) in an attempt to find a trim-fitting midlayer that I could also use around town as a lightweight jacket. I've got a few technical jackets that work well, but I was looking for something a bit more stylish.
Unfortunately, this jacket just didn't work for me, mainly because of the fit. I'm a lanky 6' 5", 220 lbs and normally fit an XL in Marmot, TNF, Mountain Hardwear tops with a bit of room for layers underneath. For reference - Eddie Bauer/First Ascent Large Tall fits me perfectly.
Unfortunately, the Swindler was just too broad in the body for me. The fit is kind of square, and the sleeves are borderline too short. If you're broad & thick, this will probably work for you. I did like the features & smart placement of the inside pockets, but I feel it's a bit overpriced for what you get. It seemed nicely detailed & constructed, and would probably look nice on someone it actually fit. I'd give it 3.5 stars.
