I am generally a medium to a large and the medium fits perfectly. It keeps me warm during chilly mornings and evenings, to and from work. The only issue I have is minor: the zipper tends to get caught on the surrounding material quite easily; therefore, zip slowly. I am not a "sporty" person and do not wear "sporty" gear, and this jacket is perfect. It goes great with my messenger bag or a regular purse. I've had many compliments on it. This was my first North Face and I plan on purchasing another North Face for the winter. And Backcounty was fabulous. People recommended Backcounty to me and I will do the same.
