I have an athletic build and stand at 5'7”. I ordered a medium and large because I wasn't sure which would fit best. I went with the large because we were traveling to Japan and I didn't want it to be too tight if I was carrying extra items in the pockets.Fit: I have fairly broad shoulders and chest, so the large fit best in that area. The length on the large was a bit long and went to mid thigh and loose around my waist, so the medium fit well at my waist and the length was just right, but a little tight at the shoulder/chest. If the large had a tighter waist and shorter length it would have been perfect for my build. That being said, I took the large on the trip and was very pleased.Durability/Water Resistant: We had a day of about 5 hours of consistent/moderate rain with no umbrella, and I never had moisture get through to my shirt under the jacket. It is also quite lightweight, but worked well keeping me warm against the wind (it got down to the 20's and teens, F).I would highly recommend this jacket.
