Just got this jacket from SAC in the mail today and was a little disappointed in a few things. 1) The sizing was way too small. I went according to the Salomon chart and was right in the range for a size small. At 5'8" with a 35" chest I thought small would be a good fit considering that the chest size for a small is 36"-38". But alas, I would be lucky to fit ANYTHING under this jacket less a tight t-shirt. Also, the forearms are WAY too tight. I can barely pull my arms out of the sleeves, and definitely can't roll my sleeves up at all. Length was good. I wanted a form fitting jacket, but not something this tight. I think a medium would have fit me better, but I'm even skeptical about that. 2) Its windproof and waterproof on the front and sleeves only. The entire back panel is just a piece of synth venting material. If you're caught in the rain you'll likely be miserable. I guess it'd be fine with a backpack on but I wanted something that'd keep me a little dryer in bad weather. Also I thought I'd mention that there is no transparent wrist portal. Although I didn't care about that I just thought I'd mention it. The positives are that the pockets are great, and the material on the sleeves and chest is really nice. I liked the front zipper vent too. Its too bad that they didn't make it all that material, and make the sizing a little better.
