EE Torrid Apex Sizing?

[Bobby B]

I’m 5’11, 200# with a 42 inch chest and 33″ waist.

According to their size chart I’m a medium, but after watching some review videos, I’m suspecting I’d be happier with a large.

 

Can anyone aid in sizing tips? Or what is your experience? (Your measurements are always helpful!)

They run SUPER large and square’ish boxy. After measuring myself and comparing the actual garment measurements to mine, I determined my size, Small, I’m normally a Medium. I ultimately went with their verbal & onsite recommendations against my own insight, which was to go with Medium. After making a custom order for the vest it fit me like an XL normally would. With that, I feel the Small would have fit much better, but still would be large on me. If you want a garment to fit properly I wouldn’t suggest this line. Go with Montbell or similar. As for the Quality of the EE Torrid, it was absolutely spot on. I was sad I couldn’t keep it. Took a loss on it since you can’t get full refunds on custom orders. And you pay shipping both ways.

I’m 6′-0″, 175#, 42″ chest, 33″ waist and the medium generously fits me.

Ditto to others.

I’m normally a tight fitting medium or slightly loose large.

The EE sizing runs HUGE. I could fit my Large Montbell Plasma 1000 parka UNDER a Medium Torrid jacket.

If I bought one they run so large I would order a custom with a small chest and large arm and hem length.

I really don’t understand who EE sizes for. They are cut for fat guys with a huge gut. Not many of them into UL hiking though…

Edit – Im 6’1″, 185lbs, 40″ chest, 34×32″ pants. Normally a Medium, sometimes a large when I want room for layers.

Im 6’2” 178 and have large and medium. Medium is much better. Large fits over it or over a rain jacket + midlayer. They run big
