Your body might have been born to ride that snowboard, but you still need help keep that ass warm. Zip into the Volcom Women’s Shale Insulated Jacket. Light insulation in this snowboarding jacket boosts the heat factor and won’t add a bunch of unwelcome bulk, while fully taped seams and 8K-rated fabric fend off snow. A V-Science Breathable Lining System reduces swamp-jacket syndrome, while the three-way adjustable hood protects your noggin when the winds kick up.
Bottom Line: Low-bulk hotness.

I must have read the color wrong, it is purple and I mean bright violet! I usually wear a medium but ordered a large to be sure that a lined jacket gave enough room, well it did, a bit too much! I do not know if it runs large or the large was true to size, too big for me, but between the fit and the color, it was not for me. The material and not too heavy weight of the jacket is very nice, so if you like purple and it runs true to size, it may be just for you!
My XL gray just came in the mail today I was really excited because it's a really cool medium heather gray it looks even better in person than in the pictures. I am 5'8 34c about 145lb slim wear 29" jeans usually and I got the XL because even though I'd read the reviews I was worried my long ape arms wouldn't fit. Well the arm length was great, but I was seriously swimming in material, you could fit two of me in it. I'm exchanging it for a large although I have a feeling a med or small would fit great in the body I do have really long arms and I like it to still be a bit baggy so I can layer it. This jacket fits super long which is nice as it covers the bum and you're not peeking skin when you lift your arms over your head. I was surprised how warm it actually was when I tried it on considering how thin the insulation is in it. Even though its last years gear it will stay current when all the allover print jackets go out of style (not to knock those because i ordered the Robson in blurred petal color as well). Overall this is my new favorite jacket.
I got this jacket and it is nice but I highly recommend getting the size below what you are. I got a small but should have gotten the x-small. The look of it is so/so but it seems like a really good jacket.
