Recently purchased (December 2025) in a M based on the virtual recommendation on the Patagonia site. Wow was that waaaaay off. The shoulders were good. The waist and chest a bit big but not crazy but the sleeves went past my fingertips. That’s a solid 3-4” too long. No wonder they have 6’3” models wearing mediums. You need gorilla arms to fit the sleeves! For normal folks you need to size down. I would actually go down a to 3 stars usually based on how off the size was the quality appears high. Going to send back and size down but was disappointed by the initial product. Picture is a comparison to a TNF I’m replacing so you see the sleeve length difference - it’s big.
I love this high quality ski jacket. The sleeves are a little long and the hood fits nicely providing great protection from wind and cold. I'm 6' 170 and I have a lot of room with a size medium. All the reports about it running big seem accurate to me. I purchased the smolder blue/cement color and they are very nice contrasting shades of blue. It is a very stylish jacket in an outdoorsy, athletic style and I don't feel pictures do the jacket justice. Looks great with a pair of jeans or cargo pants for those times wearing it around town. The only negative, and reason I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5, is because the jacket could use more insulation. REI lists this jacket in the "warmest" category and it is far from being a down parka. In anything under 20 degrees, you're going to want to wear an insulated layer underneath in addition to a sweater. The jacket is definitely built with layering in mind. I considered returning this jacket because it wasn't that heavy and this is replacing my heavy winter coat but I liked everything else about the jacket so much that I decided to keep it.
Love this jacket! Warm, well made and very visible on the slopes!
Perfect jacket for skiing, snow, and in general. Warm enough but with zippers on the arm pits for quick heat release. Size fit well enough for a layer(s) underneath.
excellent well constructed and details very thought out. Typical Patagonia excellence
