It's definitely the "European cut" so it's for people in good shape (i.e. not for big people). I'm 6'3'' and not that broad in the shoulders and I still need XL. Very good quality, strong fabric. It's not a big puffy dawn parka so not sure how it would act in extremely cold weather, but the fabric makes pretty much 100% wind-resistant, and the hood ads to the overall comfort and protection. NICE!
