The Micropuff P/O runs on the small size. That's ok becase the regular one is super boxy and not tapered enough at the hips, but the cuffs on the P/O are REALLY tight. If you normally wear a M in Patagonia, expect this Micropuff to fit like a midlayer - over light underlayers, but you're not going to be able to pull it over your shell.

 

(This assumes the jacket is a 2005 or newer - Patagonia's fit is so idiosyncratic and varied, and they change their stuff so frequently, you kind of have to specify... In any case, the year of manufacture is on the white tag, like "S05" or "F06" or something, under the style number. The benefits of being an ex-employee...)

Hey, sorry I've been away for the past few days.

I'm afraid my pullover doesn't fit like you describe at all - I'm about 5'9, 160 lbs and it fits well over a jacket and fleece, or as a slightly baggy outer later say over a sweater or t-shirt for me - the cuffs aren't tight at all.

Really nice jacket that has not seem too much use.

I'd be willing to take 80 USD shipped in North America.

Sorry, I should have been more specific: the cuffs are tight while pulling the jacket on, because they are only half-elasticized. That makes them tight when you're pushing your hands through, but it's not an issue when you're wearing it.

 

Compared the the Micro Puff Jacket, the P/O runs smaller. The jacket could truly be worn over a shell, but the P/O is tight enough to get into that a shell would be too bulky. Worn without layers, the P/O is loose around the stomach area, but normal around the shoulders. (This is because Patagonia doesn't taper their stuff - sizing up for obesity.)

 

This is at least my experience with the one I own. I have pretty wide (climber) shoulders, so maybe that's the issue.
