“Good, wish the sizing were shifted down”

“I usually wear an 8-10 in tops--the "10" to accommodate my bust--so I got size L (10-12) in this jacket because I was afraid the M (8) would be tight in the chest. I was hoping it would run small, as other reviewers have noted, more like an 8-10. The size L is (laid flat, measured across the front) 19.5" across the waist and 21.5" across the bust; an okay size for my 37" bust, even with layering, but a good foot of extra room at my waist (mostly billowing at the back). Too bad! But I suppose nobody expects you to look sexy in your rain gear, so I kept it. I haven't personally worn it in the rain, but my mother (who is more a size 12-14 on top) wore it in the rain in Ecuador and reports that it worked very well. It fits her better than it fits me. I wish it had a drawcord to bring in the waist and/or hem. I also wish there were mesh in the pit vents to keep bugs out. The hood, color (green), and pretty little design on the side are all excellent; I can't wait to go walking in a CA winter downpour and come home dry as toast!”
