After reading other reviews I decided to size down in this jacket. I am glad I did but here are some notes.First, the fit is really nice. It is not bulky. I would say this will be better for summer rain and not really cold days. It is more poncho than jacket in the thickness. Being that it is not bulky I find it more flattering.Since I sized down the sleeves are not too long on me, main reason I sized down. BUT in doing so the jacket is fitted. While it does cover my hips it is more comfortable when I unzip the side sippers for some room in the hips for movement. That said, I like that they give you that option! The side zippers give you options for more room and more breathability.Overall like the jacket. The sizing is a little off in that I sized down to make the sleeves fit but that made the jacket tighter.
