PI Vagabound II Review

[Triskeliongirl]

I ended up with a medium, and for me that was key. I recently lost a lot of weight, and am between a small and medium depending on brand and cut. But, the problem I was having with other brands is the smalls fit me in width but not length. For example the showers pass elite jacket fit nice in a small in the bust and hips, but was too short in the arms and torso. The shebeest windpro jacket was too loose in the bust and hips in a medium, but too short in the torso in a small. But with PI, the medium is just right in width and length both, and that includes both the torso length and arm length. SO, I think I do better in items that are slim cut such that the medium works better than the small. I am also noticing some items advertised as a 'trim cut', so again hopeful that means the mediums will work since small jerseys in general seem to be too short on me.

p.s. I should add that I tend to be a small in shorts (sugoi, PI), but between a small and medium on top. My shoulders and back are broad, while my waist and hips are slim. In street clothes, it really depends on the store: at the Loft or Gap I am a 4/small, at American Eagle a 6 and at Victoria's Secret an 8/M in slim cut styles.

I decided to update the review. While I still love the jacket for the reasons stated above, some of the 'flaws' that have showed up over time:

1) In vest mode, the zippers hit my skin unless I war a short sleeve jersey w no underarm venting (and longish short sleeves that don't ride up).

2) It does get really wet in a downpour.

So, I just ordered PI instinct jacket based on Deb W's review for wet days.
