This is a fantastic paddling jacket. XL fits me perfectly (5’10” 200 lb male) with plenty of freedom of motion. As all things NRS, this is extremely well-made.

Haven't paddled with it yet, but after running a hose over it for 5 minutes, it kept me completely dry. Warm, blocks the wind well, and is relatively comfortable for what it is. I was concerned that I was too big? for the medium, but I just made it with a fleece layer inside. I'm 5'6" 168 for reference.
