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.

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

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.
