how do the sizes run if you are ordering for a female in this jacket

It's a pretty universal fit, although it won't be as tight as some women's jackets. I tried on a few jackets at wal- mart to get the sizing before I ordered it. Maybe have her try on a few men's jackets to get the proper size. Great jacket by the way and the pads are hidden well.

I maybe wouldnt recommend it for a female. I got the XL and if fits perfect (male/built body/6'0")...it's very sturdy and tough.

it depends on the girl my girl is a BBW and she fits in my XL for thin woman XXS might fit but I suggest that you find a woman's jacket this may not fit in the right places and protect them properly. Amazon has some great woman's jackets for a reasonable price. best of luck and happy riding.

Medium fits me well and I am 5'9, 173. It is pretty true to size so large seems like it could be correct for you, unless you prefer a more snug fit. I am extremely happy with this jacket. I live in California but wore it for a ski trip to Colorado this past winter and it performed well.

I think the 2X will be too large for you, especially in the chest. I'm 5'6" and my chest measurement is larger than yours and I'm not squished into the jacket.

It would be best to contact the seller . I ordered mine based on my blouse size and was way off. I returned it and the sales lady was very helpful in getting me into the proper size. They actually sent me two jackets of different sizes to allow me to choose the best fit. I originally ordered a size 20 and wound up with a size 14. Although I had to pay for the return, they were prompt in crediting my account. I love the jacket.

The jackets seem to run the same in sizes. I would say if you wear medium you should buy medium.

I usually wear large jackets and this one was quite snug on me. I would suggest a size up on your usual size if you plan on wearing a thick layer underneath it.

This jackets tend to run on the small size. I would be suggested to size up one size.

Well, I usually use a medium in shirts, jackets, etc., but I bought one of these in medium a year ago, and it is just too baggy. Yes, it does have a lot more room that way, I suppose, but I'm now in the market for a small. So, the short answer to your question is, I think they run a bit big. By the way, I'm 5'7", 160 lbs.

I got an automated "can you answer this" email from amazon.I think the top number in the size chart in amazon is the "Jacket Size". Similar to when you buy a suit off the rack. From there it lists chest, waist etc...I recommend going to their website for sizing info (that's what i did). I bought an extra-large and my typical suit size would be a 42-44. It fits closely with the liner in and is short. But that is the fit of a motorcycle jacket. So if you plan to ride without the liner go a bit smaller, if you will ride mostly with the liner go a bit bigger.I like the jacket. Good luck.

Go to Columbia's website and use their detailed sizing chart - it worked for me. Web address: http://www.columbia.com/Men%E2%80%99s-Lhotse-Mountain%E2%84%A2-II-Interchange-Jacket/WM7173,default,pd.html

I wear a mens xxl and it pretty much fits true to size. I am a 52 in jackets... So figure a mens xxl would be spot on for a larger, 200plus lb. man. A larger female could probably fit a large or xl.

If she can wear a ladies small, any of the sizes will be too wide with sleeves too short. These jackets have an odd cut.

I think I understand your question...the best way I can answer it is: they run small and fitted, especially in the waist/hip area where the jacket comes down to. So if you normally take a XL for example...you must order a XXL or 2X!!! They come in S,M,L,XL,XXL and XXXL. If you own a "BEER GUT" you'll never be able to zip it...even if it fits every other parts of waist up! I love mine and it fits me perfectly! I ordered one (1) size larger than I normally take and it was/is right on! I live outside of Buffalo NY, and our weather fluzuates terribly and I'm warm w/a hoodie underneath in 35 degree weather and w/out the hoodie in the mid 40's to low 50's. I hope this is helpful.

Pretty close.The jacket needs to fit close so the heat is close to the body. I am 5' 9" and 160 lbs. I ordered a large for myself since my shoulders are broad and I don't like a tight fit in a coat. It fit great, plenty of room and this thing WORKS! Out on a job the other day in Charlotte and it was 8 degrees for the high and my body never got cold. I'm impressed.

Im 6' 200 lbs i own a size large and it fits great although if you plan on layering you might want an XL, but i wear a long sleeve and hoodie with the large bibs and jacket and i have no prob. Most of the time no house. So pretty warm stuff.

The jacket is very flexible. I would still order the next size up. It will fit well but wont be restricting. I used mine for jet sking not fully submerged in the water. I dont like when something feels like it is choking you. Hope this helped.

Hi. This jacket is very nice, I do recess duty at school in our cold Iowa winters, you do need a sweater however, it's really amazing as light as it is how warm it is. I only wish the hood had a snap or tie but I wear a beenie under the hood. Hope this helps, I am 5' about 147 lbs. I usually wear size 10-12 womens, I bought a medium, plenty of room for sweater, light hoodie underneath if need. Columbia runs small in some items, I buy if it specifies 10-12 in size. Hope this helps you!:) Colleen
