Jacket fit is great, usually size 6 (Northface usually small or occasionally Medium), purchased size small and fit is great alone yet also does allow for Denali fleece under if needed. Problem was the color, it's not a fiery red as advertised, it's a safety vest orange color. I've held it up to both red and orange..hoping to be ok as I didn't want to go through returning..it's not red. The return actually was smooth. I'm exchanging it for black. Once I'm able to try it will update how it does in the weather.
Haven't used it in the snow yet, sorry! However, I have used it on a walk to the store in the rain and would completely recommend! It kept me warm in 40 degree weather and dry in the pouring rain :) Fit is also really nice I wanted the arcteryx beta before i got this one and would say im on the same level of satisfaction as if i were to buy the beta. Buy it!
perfect color, not bulky, picture doenst do justice
Had to return and exchange for size up. Since it’s a slim fit, the XS which I usually wear, was too small. Arm length is very long but I have long arms so not too bad. Other than fit of jacket I’d give it 5 stars but haven’t worn it in cold weather yet.
