I'm a size Large in nearly all clothing I buy, and the fitting was spot-on for me considering that it isn't insulated and is sized just large enough to allow you one or two fairly thin layers under it. It's nicely finished and cut very comfortably. Now, the bad news:
The zippers are small and fiddly, you have to learn "the knack" of starting them if the jacket's open when you put it on - I need my reading glasses for that. The fabric is quiet while just moving around but will make "zipping" noise if you brush against small leafless branches, so it would work much better in old timber than in the brushy, timbered-out places as we have here in our National Forests in NE TN. When the leaves are on and if you typically hunt from the ground, the camo pattern is great and the limb noise shouldn't be a problem. It's sort of the price you pay for getting a nearly waterproof fabric.
Overall, though, I bought it for the camouflage pattern because no matter what season,we always have dead leaves on the ground or in piles here (mostly deciduous forest except up on the ridgetops which are mostly dead evergreens thanks to the wooly aphid) and it blends in with them perfectly. I wish I'd had this pattern and fabric years ago when I stalked deer in central-west Virginia (Shenandoah National Forest) with a longbow, keeping me close to the ground most of the time. With the matching balaclava and their lightweight gloves, this would have been perfect for that.
I would buy from Kryptek again ...
