Small fitting outerwear

+0
−0

I'm a smaller guy (5'7"/125lbs) and I always have difficulty finding clothes. I'm currently looking for some type of down/synthetic filled layer to go ice climbing in. My main issue is a men's small leaves 5-7" of extra air space in the middle of my back and a women's size is too tight on my shoulders.

I'm in Eastern Canada, so ordering from a company that allows my to ship something back for a return is definitely a requirement for me.

I have a good soft-shell and heavy winter coat, but I'm needing something in between.

You could try any of the following that come in XS:

  1. Outdoor Research "Neoplume Jacket"
  2. North Face "Super Zephyrus"
  3. Patagonia "Nano Puff"

Outdoor research has a good return policy I have dealt with them before. North Face has lifetime warranties and accepts returns, conveniently at retail locations even if purchased online. Also take a good look at MEC they have a great return policy and are a Canadian Co-op, they have great sales and mostly free shipping, if not it is very reasonably priced.

Alternatively, you could try layering and use your soft shell such as: Base layer+merino+fleece+softshell. It won't be as light/compact/warm as a single 60g Primaloft One Mid-Layer but it's worth a shot in my opinion. Play around with it and who knows you might find something that works for you!
