I just got this jacket yesterday and it fits me perfectly. I'm 5'2", 115lbs and not very busty. I'm also pretty hourglass-y so I haven't noticed any excessive flaring at the hips for my body type. I decided to get this jacket after reading the other reviews, and the body and arms fit wonderfully. I'm pretty excited to try out the eVent fabric today. The jacket does not have pit-zips, but from other friends who have used eVent before, I'm not sure yet as to whether or not I will need them (Westcomb's Mirage jacket is also made of eVent and does not have pit zips either). I do agree with one of the previous reviewers that the torso could be a bit longer; the jacket hits me 3/4 of the way down my bum, so I will have to use rain pants as well if I'm doing some serious hiking. Also I would like the hood to be a bit larger/roomier for ponytails, and the main zipper is plastic instead of metal like the pocket zips and back pocket (which I'm sure I will have issues with later). You can turn the jacket into a pouch using the back pocket and it comes with a strap to use as a waist belt. I bought this for the sale price, and would not have paid the full $360 for the jacket unless it had the previous changes made, or had additional features such as a small external upper sleeve pocket, interior pockets, breast pockets, regular pockets with pit zips and was ipod compatible. Good value however, for the money spent on it. I'm also very impressed by the type of velcro used (the hooks are incredibly smooth to the touch, yet durable and strong). The tulip/crimson color is a nice, soft red color.

I usually fit XS bikini tops from Volcom, however the band on this thing was made for a 13 year old girl (and I'm a pretty small, non-busty lady). Had to send mine back. The material was really nice though.
