Well I'm a shorter person so anything I buy the sleeves are too long but I got a large and the sleeves actually aren't too bad, the fact they are a tad long is normal for me but they weren't terribly over length and the collar might be a bit problematic for some cause it doesn't naturally lay flat but it doesn't bother me. I've just turned it down and over time I think it will lay flatter when its not zipped up too far but I like the fact it comes up around your neck a bit. Keeps the cold off your neck. I really like the jacket a lot but then I'm pretty much a minimalist. I did read the washing instructions and it says to wash often and rinse twice to get all the detergent out then dry on low or iron on low to regenerate the waterproof properties which I found weird but thats ok its easier to take care of.
