I have two of these now and I love them. I am 6'3" 210 pounds with a 21" torso and the large fits me like a glove. There is plenty of sleeve length and I feel waist length as well. It is cut tight at the waist with it slightly longer in the back but I have not found it to be a problem. Very warm and blocks the wind as well. Exchanged for a L mountain light jack and it zips in great. Only minor grip is the jacket itself is so light that it makes the zipper feel heavy. If TNF would make it in a 1/4 zip, that would be awesome, not a really big deal though. Great warmth for the weight, can't wait to use it hiking.

I use these when I go running in the 20 to 30 degree range, which in MN is often. They keep the wind and cold out but at temps much below this your going to need something heavier. Water does not come thru easily but the outside soaks it up pretty good. I would NOT use these for skiing.
