It fits great, perfect length and great color. Would recommend.
Try on Before You Buy - If possible By MickieBoo from Vail, CO on 03/14/2009 Describe Yourself: Advanced Chest Size: Feels too small Sleeve Length: Feels too short Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: In my opinion, the arm hole is cut too small for the jacket size. In other words, if the jacket fits your body it will be too small and binding under the armpit. If you get a larger size for more room and mobility in the arm, the jacket is too roomy on your body. Traditionally Spyder is true to its size and if you are a particular size in one style, you will be that size in other styles, but that is not the case with this jacket. I adore Spyder, but I am surprised at the high end price of this jacket when it misses the mark on such a basic design feature.
Stylish and Practical Ski Jacket By Skibunny from Snow Country on 03/06/2009 Pros: Breathable, Durable, Lightweight, Stylish, Warm, Waterproof, Wind Resistant Describe Yourself: Advanced Chest Size: Feels too small Gear Usage: Cold Weather Living, Winter Sports Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I took the advice of Sierra and ordered a larger size than I normally wear as Spyder runs small. I wear an 8-10 and I ordered a 12....beautifully cut and the arm length is perfect (I'm tall, so that's always a problem for me). I probably could have even taken a 14 this jacket runs so small. Anyway -- I love the style and cut...it's fantastic to have an insulated jacket that doesn't look bulky & you can tell that you're female in it!!! The photo doesn't do this jacket justice -- the color is more like a merlot...not the drab burgundy that seems to be pictured online. The jacket is so well thought out -- it even has an arm pocket with a lens cloth for goggles/glasses attached by a little bungy cord! AND - last but not least...the price is unreal! I can't believe the discount for this high quality/high performance beautiful jacket. Can't wait to use it at Vail next week. =)
Great jacket but way too small By Maddie from Park City, UT on 02/23/2009 Pros: Stylish, Warm, Waterproof, Wind Resistant Best Uses: Backcountry, Downhill Describe Yourself: Advanced Chest Size: Feels too small Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I have had at least six Spyder jackets over the years and am disappointed that they changed their sizing about 2 years ago, so I can no longer purchase this brand.
