I'm 6'2", 200lbs, lean but athletic, and I have long arms. I got a medium and it's a perfect slightly slim but very unrestricted fit. Jackets get very boxy on me very quickly, it's difficult for me to find things that fit really well and this is one piece that I will never get rid of. The material and zippers feel very high quality, it's fully waterproof and wind proof and unbelievably ergonomic. I can swing my arms in full rotation without the bottom of the jacket lifting up. I use it as a rain jacket in the PNW most of the year but throw a layer under it in the winter and it's been phenomenal for both.
Ive used this jacket while hiking and climbing. Great versatility. Perfect to use as a shell to keep the wind and rain/snow off of you while also being super lightweight. The zippers under the armpit are a great feature for airflow
