Any experience with sizing? How is the fit?

mfolchI have a thin build and a small body, and found the smallest size to be close fitting on the neck, waist, and sleeves. The rest was loose enough to accommodate a few layers underneath. I think fit might be a bit tricky for some people; it uses a sort of semi-elastic in place of drawstrings or zippers, so if it doesn't fit snugly there aren't any built in options for adjustment. I'd recommend trying it on in a store if you can.
As a note on use; it strikes a nice balance between weight and warmth, and easily packs away when not needed (no stuff sack or pocket to pack into though, so you may want to consider picking a small stuff sack up). The material looks thin and flimsy but has held up in the mountains so far. I don't think it is warm enough to be a sufficient insulating layer below 30 degrees Fahrenheit, though it is fine above that.

mmcgrathMy size large stuffs into the reverse of the pocket....This is a great deal. I paid all but full price for mine. I'm 6'1", 220lbs and the large size is perfect for me.

mfolchWearing just a lightweight base layer, I found my medium to be perfect on the chest but a tad baggy around the stomach. It was also slightly long on the sleeves. I couldn't get the small because it was too tight around the chest. But it's more than fine for what I use it for. By contrast, my Arc'teryx Thorium AR fits me perfectly in medium. I bring that along when I know that night time temps will be below 20 f.
