Men's Clothing
Body measurements in centimetres (cm). Measured wearing baselayers or light clothing — tape firm but not tight.
Tip: If you are between sizes, go up to the next size. Garment sizing already accounts for whether the item is close-fitting or designed to be worn over layers.

Great jacket but has issues

Had the Makalu just over a year and loved it, great fit, very comfortable and weatherproof. Then the zip on the chest pocket busted for no apparent reason, it got very little use.
