Jacket and layer sizing

Our jackets are cut for a layer underneath. Measure your chest and follow this chart.

Kofi Mensah · Gear Specialist1 min read · Updated Sep 9, 2026

Measure around the fullest part of your chest with a soft tape, arms relaxed. Compare with the chart below.

Chest measurements (inches)

  • XS 33–35 · S 35–38 · M 38–41 · L 41–44 · XL 44–47 · XXL 47–50

Between sizes?

The Hollow Pine down jacket and Talus Rain Shell have room for a fleece underneath. If you like to layer a lot, size up; for a trimmer fit over a base layer, stay with your usual size. Merino base layers are close-fitting by design.

Sleeve length

Shells and down jackets are cut with a little extra sleeve so your wrists stay covered when you reach for a trekking pole. If you have shorter arms, the adjustable cuffs take up about an inch.

Can I exchange boots I've already worn outside once?

Yes — footwear worn outdoors can be exchanged for a different size within 30 days if the soles show light wear only. Here's how:
