Armpits cut too tight
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
- Fit: Runs small
- Size Bought: L
I bought and returned this after trying on both L and XL sizes. The fit pulls your base layer into your armpits. I fit the bottom numbers on the L size but that didn't leave any room for a base layer. The XL fits the baselayer but didn't give enough armpit room. Size up for a baselayer. Would probably fit someone with skinny shoulders.

I am in love with the fabric in the Guardian line, it’s far and away my favorite shell that I’ve ever owned. It breathes like nothing else, yet seems to repel water like a champ. I wish there was somewhere to put my hands- you can’t imagine how it feels to be an awkward girl standing there with awkward hands wondering what to do with them.. lol. The system is designed to be harness compatible for those gnarly alpine ascents!
Is this jacket insulated at all? It says "wool lining" but I can't figure out if that is just a thin lining, or if it actually serves as insulation. Looking to use this jacket mainly for backcountry, and uphill travel, and if it is truly insulated worried that it will be too warm
