I typically wear a medium in Patagonia jackets. The medium fits perfectly except when I zip up. It is SO tight around the chest. Based on my experience, and the other review, this jacket isn't designed to fit women who any curves at all. Disappointing since I need a jacket that can keep me warm even if I get caught in a little wet.
I'm typically a size small or even extra small. I had to go up to a medium for this to fit around my hips. That's fine, except I wanted to use this jacket to hike. (In Patagonia, Chile', of all places!) When I tried it on again at home, I realized that it doesn't have a two-way zipper. That makes the jacket snug around my hips. That is not going to work for hiking/walking. I returned it today. It seems really lightweight and compact. The lack of a two-way zipper was the deal breaker for me.
Main issue is the “redesigned” fit. The newer Patagonia is much wider around the mid-section & waist, but too narrow around the shoulders and chest. Priced high compared to the same quality in off brands.
Love the coat. I use it for everything. Perfect for cook out even cold weather, but I wish it came in the same colors as the men’s. They always have better colors, but the shape isn’t made for a woman, especially in the hips. Otherwise, I’d just prefer a men’s small instead of a Roman’ women’s medium.
Very lightweight, warm, comfortable, layers well, washable, and dries quickly, whether in a drier or outdoors. Stashes compactly in a knapsack. I just bought my 2nd one in a different color. (1st one from 2 years ago (gray-green color) is great for camping, but it has a "burn hole" -- my bad -- so I got another for city events.) My only quibble with the 2nd one (silvery-pale lavender color) is that although it is the same size as the first, it is 2 inches shorter, and I prefer the extra length of the older one. I'll keep the new one, but wish it was longer.
This jacket fits true to size from previous seasons. The color is great! The arms are nice and long.
Perfect for when there's a slight chill in the air.
The best jacket ever!! I definitely recommend it!!!
