We checked the fit of this jacket and found it to run true to Cortech’s standard sizing chart for women’s jackets. For our photo group, Shirley is a standard 12 and is wearing a size Large jacket. Take the “View Larger Images” link above to see how it fits.
The size Large we used for the photos measured out with a 38” chest, 32” waist and 34” hip. The chest and waist measurements confirm the sizing offered in the chart. The jacket has expansion zips at the hip to allow for more room if necessary. Our hip measurement was done with the zips closed so consider the hip estimate in the chart to be “max” with the zips open. The waist/hip can be snugged down a bit if necessary with the side Velcro tabs.
