Only gripe: zipper snags easily on the little flap.Sailorhttp://www.BrownkatzOutdoors.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8079470994459135415.post-25204055735801384452010-04-28T11:31:04.944-04:002010-04-28T11:31:04.944-04:00The cut is roomy enough for layers.

The Fugu is more American cut.Jolly Green Gianthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02784130095157180086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8079470994459135415.post-44639456706287578872010-04-28T09:57:42.457-04:002010-04-28T09:57:42.457-04:00Im 5´10" and 165 lbs with a 41 inch chest... ...Im 5´10" and 165 lbs with a 41 inch chest... I am a big fan of my Montbell gear and jackets, but the medium size is VERY snug in the chest and shoulders- making me consider getting a large the next time.<br /><br />Can you advise whether this jacket is sized big or small? Does it accommodate some layering underneath, or is it totally fitting like Montbell?<br /><br />Thanks!!!mdgherehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05941045891475603237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8079470994459135415.post-76172846358198973272010-01-14T15:05:17.448-05:002010-01-14T15:05:17.448-05:00@ Marx - My XXL compressed to a little smaller tha...@ Marx - My XXL compressed to a little smaller than a volleyball.

I went with the longer sleeves, they were kind of short even for a men's jacket.kayakergirlhttp://kayakergirl.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8079470994459135415.post-56773614975532185282010-01-14T00:00:04.916-05:002010-01-14T00:00:04.916-05:00How small does it compress down to?How small does it compress down to?Marxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8079470994459135415.post-41408167670908636702010-01-13T11:34:25.710-05:002010-01-13T11:34:25.710-05:00Looks amazing!

It's a cold winter this year so I'm able to convince myself I need this (I guess may MH subzero jacket just won't do anymore).<br /><br />Robin<br /><a href="http://backpackbasecamp.com" rel="nofollow">BackpackBaseCamp.com</a>Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12495441507908789479noreply@blogger.com
