Jack Wolfskin sizing (gecko)

[Ashley Brown]

Anyone here own any Jack Wolfskin fleece?

Their sizing chart seems to suggest I should order a large, whilst I normally order medium with other manufacturers (montbell, patagonia, icebreaker).

Did you need to size up? I dislike baggy fleece so I'm somewhat reluctant to order a size larger than normal!

I also thought I'd have to size up from a medium and ordered a large, which was too big.

Exchanged for a medium which fits fine.

If you don't like baggy fleece – probably stick to your regular size.

Thanks Jim, that's really useful. =-)

Ashley,

You're welcome. Great fleece and, except for the Lowe Alpine Alelitian, the lightest I've found.

The Wolfskin's a bit thicker and warmer though.

Hope the size works out!

Here's an alternative to the gecko that's a bit lighter and less expensive. It's from a regular clothing manufacturer and uses Polartec 100. It's performed well for me on my last several trips. Size medium weighs 217 g.
