[QUOTE="FXRS, post: 1288827, member: 87653"] Mr. Prestone: A word of caution, wherever you buy it please be sure you can return it if it doesn't fit properly. I just returned a Medium Klim Apex jacket. I'm quite slender at 5'-11" and 145 lbs tops (ok-outright skinny). The sleeves were quite tight the entire length of my arms. I was wearing a short sleeve t-shirt and would not have been able to add any sort of long sleeve fleece/liner. Even a simple long sleeve shirt would bunch up. I did have the arm adjustment straps loosened up. It's just an odd fit, a large would have been too big everywhere else. The other odd fit was that the collar edge pushed up against my adams apple when buttoned up as would be in a rain storm. Also, all the pockets are a bit too shallow (or worse) for my liking. The zipped pocket just under the front storm flap is so small it wouldn't even take my old, small ipod classic. The inner mesh pocket with the hole to pass through the wires from a set of ear buds is so small I doubt anything much bigger even a deck of playing cards would fit. Otherwise, the quality of construction etc is quite good. I really wanted it to fit but I guess I'm not built in the same proportions as either the average American or the average Klim Apex model. Oh well, back to my research. No offense to Klim, just didn't work for me. Gotta love Revzilla, their fair & honest return policy gave me the confidence to order an $800 jacket online [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png[/IMG].
