Luckily I noticed the other review on this jacket so I ordered a size larger so it fits well. However, if you ride on trails that have trees, DO NOT buy this jacket. It is a very thin shell, particularly the sleeves. The first time I wore it I brushed up against a couple of small branches on a pine tree twice and ended up with two sizable holes in the sleeves. I have done my share of abuse to clothing and accessories but I expected a lot more from this product given the cost and the description. I highly recommend something more robust.

When I got this jacket I immediately realized that I ordered an XL & not a XXL, somehow I completely forgot that it was cycling gear...ooops lol. The jacket fits great & I have been wearing it all Winter here in the Northeast. It keeps me warm AND dry. I have to use minimal layers & keep pedaling to stay really warm, but this is actually my favorite jacket, so much so that I wear it off the bike too.

I first ordered the XL and when I got it, it fit way too small, I returned the XL and tried the XXL and it was only a bit bigger then the XL, I could not zip it shut and forget about layering. I returned the XXL and moved on to the Showers Pass brand, XL and it is amazing. All the jackets I own are XL.
