Great Jacket but Big

By Ranked #322 - Women's Snowboard Jackets February 17, 2011

This jacket is sweet--pockets EVERYWHERE which is a big plus for me. The material is top quality and the inner lining looks great on its own. However, the sizing is a bit off, in my opinion. I think the jacket runs large, but that may just be because I'm a bit petite. Alas, I cannot find the coat in an XS. I'm 5'3'' and 105 lbs. If that's about your size, be warned: it's a sweet coat, but it's wide in the shoulders and flares out a bit at the bottom.

I'm pretty small myself. But I was really thinking about purchasing this jacket, even though the sizing is off would it still be worth it to buy it?
