5'10" 175-180lbs (Athletic Build) 42-44" Chest 32-34" Waist Purchased MEDIUM WITH REGULAR INSEAM = Fits PERFECTLY (comfortable fit with enough room for layers underneath - I don't really like baggy clothes) Absolutely love this jacket. Wore it for 4 snowboarding days now (2 days snowboarding in Tahoe in 15-35F windy weather and 2 in Mt. High located in Wrightwood in warmer 30F+ weather). The two days in Tahoe I wore it, it held up great to the winds, snow, and powder, however a base layer was definitely needed in the early mornings and late afternoons when it was below 20F. The two days in Wrightwood when it was "spring" conditions (warmer, bluebird days with the sun out) it held up great with just a t-shirt underneath. Best thing about the Fiery Red color = visibility. All of my buddies were able to spot me from VERY far distances to meet back up. Other great features that I used all the time were the thumb loops in the sleeves, the goggle mesh pocket in the jacket, the front pocket with headphone accessibility for music/phone connection, and the left sleeve pocket with the goggle wipe accessory. It was amazing how much that left sleeve pocket came in handy. I used the goggle wipe on my goggles, my gopro, and all of my friends' goggles with ease and the pocket was great for holding my day pass at the mountains so I could easily scan my access to the lifts. This jacket is beautiful and amazingly functional.

My son loves it.

Style for him, but it is durable and practical for me. Great little media pockets, arm vents and snow skirt. Definitely would recommend. It does fit a bit large, so LOTS of room for layering.
