So, I'm reviewing this jacket again. My previous review was a 4, and this 5 will bring it up to a 4.5, which seems right. First, sizing - this definitely runs small. I ordered an XL, and when I got it, my sister - who is a medium - tried it on and it fit her perfectly. Still, I was losing weight so I kept it, and I am so glad I did. It fits even better now, although the sleeves and length are a little short, it is an amazing jacket. I use it for walking on my breaks at work, running around town, and regular everyday use. I went hiking for the first time since I bought it this weekend, and figured I'd just stuff it into the backpack just in case. I ended up not needing it, but it packed so small - it was nice to know I had it if I did need it. I think the fitting is more suited to backcountry wear, and I can see this working really, really, really well with my layering system. Plus it's super warm - I've used it in 27 degree weather with just a fleece sweater underneath and been plenty warm. We need more Sherpa Adventure gear at STP!
