12691339, Anybody got a Uniqlo ultra light down parka?

How do they fit? Size up?

12691458, i have seen those, i would consider a size up

like if you are a firm L, stay with L, but if you're ever between L and XL, go with XL (just using those size as examples).
looking at them they seemed a little snug in the chest/shoulders and not too long to go up a size. looking now at the sizing chart, yes, an XL is a 47" chest, not 48" as it would be in standard sizing or 49/50 like it would be in something generous.
they seem kind of cool, like a wintery version those mizuno running jackets that fit in your pocket but are waterproof and warm.

I'm 5'10, 155 and rolled with the small. The armpits are mad tight. Don't know if it's the same for the down

just so i would have enough room for sweaters and such. i like
it...very light, comfortable, and compact but, feathers are
everywhere.

They're way cheaper than a lot of other thin ultra down jackets (EMS, etc.) which to me is a red flag, or just means that they're good in late Fall, but that you'd be in bad shape come January (assuming NY).

i bought the parka one and i asked the cashier like 'you sure this works?'
she told me as long as i wear a sweater i'm good (like wtf was i going to do? go topless?)
it keeps me very warm. i want to get a short one or a vest to wear under a lighter jacket

12691532, ridiculously warm...ugh.

12691524, I got something similar from them
Posted by MEAT, Tue Jan-06-15 09:47 PM
Not the bubble parka but just a regular one. I'm about 5'8 180, it's medium and fits better than the large hoodie I haave from them.
I also have a slim wool blazer from them and it's a medium that fits well also.
