"I am 5'10 usually a size Medium in jackets cause I like to layer underneath, (but small fits just right) I am confused if I should get a size 6 or an 8. Bust is 34. I also don't want the jacket to be too short. The other thing is I don't want it too baggy as it will just look bad. please advise. I am ready to order, just stuck on this size decision. Thnaks
What is your returns policy if I order both sizes and return the one that does not fit. How many days do I have to return it?"

Love love love this jacket. the material is great, feels silky but yet so durable, a stylish skiing jacket, fits great :) am wearing it as an everyday jacket as well, beautiful.... highly recommended
I bought this jacket in Tempt - a purple / pink color. I have gotten so many compliments on it. The fabric is silky and has a little sheen, but it is not shiny. It is a fitted jacket that nips in at the waist to give a nice shape. There are plenty of pockets and the jacket is long enough in the back to protect your back from exposure. The cuffs are longer than normal and larger, so I would suggest a glove or mitten with a slim knitted cuff and not a gaiter. This is a very warm jacket, so you don't need bulky layers underneath to keep you warm.
Sizing - refer to the Obermeyer size chart. Do not go by your size at the clothing store. I measure 37" around the bust, but I do have a slim torso, so the size 8 is the right size for me. Obermeyer size chart would say that I should wear a 10. I hope that is helpful for those of you choosing your size.
I love this jacket!! It fits perfectly- plenty of room across the shoulders and in the arms for bending over and picking up little skiers. I bought the platinum jacket and the color is beautiful!! I was worried at first that it would be too NASA silverish' and I'd look like an astronaut ... but it's adorable. Warm and stylish!!
