Got the Ibex Dash Jackets last week, just didn't really get to look too closely as there was so much going on. They are not heavy, but more medium weight, but the front seems like it would be quite windproof. The back is a like a stretchy warm sweater. The L womens fit me nicely everywhere but the length, where I feel it is too short for me. I am long waisted, and also 5'8". The sleeves were long enough, the shoulders fit well, and it was not baggy. The mens is much longer, and dips more in the back, which I like. However, I tried on my husbands L, which is too baggy everywhere, but the length is lovely. So I don't know whether to try the mens medium. My husband is definitely keeping his, but I "sob" have to send the womens back. These jackets are beautiful for the money. However, if you are a tall women, I would recommend trying the mens.
Any ideas from the Ibex rep who posts here? I would appreciate it!

Darn, I hope Ibex isn't shortening their women's sizes! I'm 5'8" and long-armed, and wear a L in everything. Sounds like the L Dash wouldn't fit me at all!!!

Thanks for the Dash Jacket report!

I tried the dang jacket again.....I keep hoping the thing fits. Part of the problem is I have wide hips, and the jacket is riding up slightly.....looking shorter than it really is. If I pull it straight down tight it hits my high hip, and dips slightly in the back. This would be fine if it would stay, but it won't. I was just thinking maybe I should go to an XL. This is annoying, because an XL is usually huge on me.....but if the shoe fits.... I just wonder if the XL is any longer in length than the L....
