Im a small petite woman and this vest fits perfectly. Love wearing it with jeans around the house or running to the store on a cool day. Im so glad I purchased it. There is nothing like Patagonia for quality!
I really wanted a Retro-X vest, but didnt like any of the Womens colors. I was looking for a tan with more neutral colors. The kids vest had multiple colors that I liked! I ended up buying the XL kids tan and green vest and love it. I am 5ft3 and 118lbs and it fits well. Slight boxy, but not too much. The XXL probably would be looser around my hips... Read More but it was sold out.
XL fits perfectly for my body! Im 52 and 90 lbs. I also tried L and it fits but it was too tight and shoulder area looked too small. XL is about right. I wouldve got XXL for oversized look but there was only XL available. Overall I love it! It is so warm and easy to layer with jackets!!
Purchased a boys large for my 11 yr old son as he often gets too hot from running around , even in cool to cold weather, so this is great. He likes the look but he stays covered which keeps me happy and he’s not too hot which keeps him happy.
Since Patagonia does not have petite sizes,I have found Some boys items work well for me. Love the fun color combo of this vest with quality materials,inc bright green zipper! ( works super well too). Such a versatile vest. Great on its own or over a dress,or to layer under a windbreaker and long sleeve shirt. Looks good too... And so cozy when zip... Read Moreped up all the way. Thanks Patagonia!
