The most important thing to consider when determining the proper size and fit for our garment is your layering system. We have already taken into account that you will have the proper amount of layers on underneath the down garment when wearing it. The warmer the garment, the larger it will be cut to accommodate other layers.

Our lightweight jackets are sized much like a fleece jacket or sweater. It should fit snug for proper insulation; if you need to wear a waterproof shell, it should be worn over the Helios jacket.

Our Volant jacket should be sized similar to your external layers. Your waterproof and windproof shells must be form fitting to allow the Volant to fit over it properly. We recommend wearing the Volant as the last layer in your layering system for proper insulation. When you are hiking or climbing, you simply pull it out and put it on. When you need to start moving again, you can remove it and pack it again.

Our Frontpoint jacket, Icefall parka and Rock & Ice parka are specifically designed to fit over all of your layers.

* A Note for Women
When selecting one of our unisex garments, the easiest way to determine your size is by reviewing what you currently own or by taking your measurements. In general, women's sizes are typically one step up from unisex sizes. (i.e., a men's small is a woman's medium, etc.) Consider having the garment custom tailored if you believe you might have trouble fitting a standard sized garment. The largest issue is typically the arm length. We can shorten or lengthen the arms if necessary, which will allow a much more proper fit of our garments.

Note:
We can shorten or lengthen the arms on any of our garments in 1" increments for a custom construction fee. For more information please call customer service.
