I just received my Spyder Diamond jacket yesterday. The pic shown really does it no justice. It is a shiny almost sateen like material - with the faux fur trim and shapely fit it is just ooh-la-la :). For sizing purposes - I am 5'6" and approx 125Ibs. I ordered this jacket in a size 6 and it fits nicely with the Spyder Raider Fleece Vest in size 4 for me. The review from Nieve was very helpful - and special thank you to a sales rep for going thru the sizing and matching for me :). I think this duo will really hold up next winter here in minus 30 degree Celsius weather!
