JonMW Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Could I get some advice about the fit for this jacket? The sizing chart says the chest for a small is 38" which seems like it runs a bit big for a small. But the description says "performance fit" which is supposedly a tight fit. I've got a TNF Mtn Light medium and it is plenty roomy. Wondering if I could get away with the Blue Ridge in a small (good deal online but only small available) and still be able to wear mid and heavy weight poly pro layers underneath. Thanks.

smithxrandy Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 My impression of TNF is that they aim their shells toward sasquatch. Or they are just after a casual fit. Opposed to dead bird, which fits a normal fit person. I generally take a Large in most jackets, but have lots of room in the chest of both of my TNF shells.

JonMW Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 Thanks. I tried on a TNF Blue Ridge. Horrible action on the waterproof zippers. No pit zips and the core vents were just a mesh lining in the back of the chest pockets which looked like it could easily rip. But the small was indeed plenty big. Ended up getting a 2011 Marmot Minimalist, also a size small that ran huge, accommodated 3 layer of poly pro, and might fit one more. Pit zips + a regular zipper with a storm flap. Much better than the BLue Ridge IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
