Sleeve Length:
Feels true to length
Chest Size:
Feels true to size
Pros:
Breathable, Durable, Lightweight, stylish, Warm, Waterproof, Windproof
Best Uses:
Casual Wear, Cold Weather, Extreme Conditions, Hiking and Camping, Wet Weather, windy days- any activity
Describe Yourself:
Casual/ Recreational
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: In the old jackets, I wore a 12 because the chest was too small. But, in the new Alchemy jackets, I wear a medium. The new sizes that are by letter and not number fit true to size in the chest, arms, and length of the jacket. This jacket is wind and water proof. Add a few layers underneath it and you've got a perfect ski jacket! Typically, I wear a women's S or M shirt (5'6") with a 34" B bust and a medium fits me perfectly with enough room for thin wool layers if I want to use it for skiing.

Sleeve Length:
Feels too short
Chest Size:
Feels true to size
Pros:
Breathable, Durable, Lightweight, Warm, Waterproof
Best Uses:
Cold Weather, Skate Skiing
Describe Yourself:
Casual/ Recreational
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This jacket is very functional for blocking the wind, but is also breathable. The fit is very trim, so you need to decide if that works for you. I find the look a bit high tech with the dark grey contrasting colors. However, it does what it's advertised to do.
A great body-concious fit in a jacket

Sleeve Length:
Feels true to length
Chest Size:
Feels true to size
Pros:
Breathable, Durable, Fits close to the body, Lightweight, Warm, Waterproof
Describe Yourself:
Casual/ Recreational
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This jacket is form fitting. Finally a jacket made for a woman. It has room in the chest, close at the waist & a slight flare below. The neck will zip up below the chin to keep the wind out. In very cold, windy weather you may need another layer over this. This jacket fits close enough that you will not be wearing a bulky layer under it.

Sleeve Length:
Feels too short
Chest Size:
Feels too small
Best Uses:
Cold Weather, Hiking and Camping, Wet Weather
Describe Yourself:
Casual/ Recreational
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Nice jacket, but it is too small and the sleeves are way too short. I am 5'9" and normally wear a size 6. I read some reviews, and everybody recomended to buy one size bigger. I bought size 8, it fits fine, but a little tight under the arms. Probably, size 10 would be better.
