Perfect for Small-Hipped Women By Raggamuff from Denver, CO on 01/30/2008 Pros: Breathable, Durable, Very Attractive, Warm, Waterproof, Wind Resistant Cons: Size runs a bit small, Tight through hips Describe Yourself: Advanced Chest Size: Feels true to size Gear Usage: Cold Weather Living, Winter Sports Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: The colors are beautiful...the turquoise is brilliant and the brown--not gray, as it says in the description--complements well. The jacket is toasty, but it does run a bit small, especially through the hips. I am generally a size 6-8, and went with Medium. Still, the bottom edge of the jacket is tight around the hips. You feel a bit like the Stay Puff marshmallow man if you've got any thick sweater underneath. Best to layer lightly.
Went up for a bitterly cold day of skiing in Colorado last week, & didn't didn't feel a bit chilled. It's not just a shell--it's got some kind of space-age silver liner that's quite warm. The cell phone pocket came in handy on the slopes, too. Outside pockets feel a bit shallow--was disappointed I couldn't zip in a water bottle for the day of skiing. But overall, it's a nice jacket for the price, and I did get a few compliments from my girlfriends.
By Izzie the shredder from Great Falls, MT on 12/26/2007 Pros: Lightweight, Lots of Pockets, Warm, Waterproof, Wind Resistant Best Uses: Downhill, Freestyle Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Chest Size: Feels true to size Gear Usage: Cold Weather Living, Winter Sports Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: The small was very small through the hips. The medium fit better through the body but the sleeves were a bit long which was fine with me. The brown and turquiose combo is beautiful
