I love the longer design of this jacket as it covers more and will be a great jacket.  I ordered my normal size, Small and it fit as all other Columbia items I have.  I am 5"4", 116 lb and I did not find the jacket to be too long as some have noted.  It is about 1" lower than my rear end, so exactly as shown in the picture.  The sleeves though...... they designed the sleeves to be REALLY long.  They cover all of my hands except about an inch.  Looks alittle odd so I will shorten them myself or put elastic in the wrist for a quick fix.  The longer sleeves would help keep your hands warmer but to me, it just looks odd.
