I purposely bought a large for my medium frame to layer it on colder days, and it still drapes nicely down and does not look sloppy. The sleeves are therefore a little long, but I like it that way so I can scoot in my fingers on colder or rainy days. I imagine if I got a medium, it would fit nicely if I didn't want the extra space for layering.

The colour is a tad darker rose than in the photo, but still very beautiful. And the outer fabric really has a sort of coating on it because I splashed some porridge on it this morning, and it came off with swipe of a damp paper towel without even leaving a wet spot! And it really is breathable and water and wind resistant -- I've been out in the sleet and wind with it.

Some people have said the hood is a funky shape -- I figured it out: when you tighten it so that wind or rain can't get in behind your face, the front sticks out, sort of like a baseball cap, which actually makes it a better rain/snow protector for your eyes.

I have a feeling this is going to become my new favourite jacket! LOVE IT> LOVE IT>LOVE IT!
