Mountain Equipment Size Guide :
The sizing of the garments makes allowance for whether they are close fitting or not and what they are designed to be worn with.
Take measurements wearing only baselayers/light clothing. The tape should be tight but not restrictive.
With a tape measure, measure your chest at the fullest part, keeping the tape horizontal.

Gore-Tex Infinium™ Windstopper®
Created using an ultra-thin protective layer laminated to a lightweight textile, GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® products are totally windproof.
Although textiles such as microfibers, closely woven fabrics and many fleece materials are often termed windproof, even light winds can penetrate most of these fabrics, making you feel chilled and uncomfortable
By Gore’s standards, a fabric can only be considered truly windproof if its air permeability is 1.0 cfm (< 5 l/m2/s) or less
It’s a standard that our products easily meet.
The membrane technology in GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER® products has billions of pores that are 900 times larger than water vapor molecules, so even though wind can’t get in, moisture from sweat vapor can easily get out
In addition to the GORE® membrane technology, a durable water repellent (DWR) treatment is applied to most of these products
This penetrates a jacket’s outer fibers, lowering the surface tension so that water beads up and rolls off
That means less water accumulation, resulting in less wind chill, and less extra weight
