I received this coat for Christmas. It is very cute and warm, but I am 5'1, 115lbs and can barely get it to zip. I would not be able to wear anything other than a form sitting shirt underneath (no layering) and it would still be uncomfortable.

You might be happier with one of our roomier coats designed to fit over more layers. You are welcome to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) a gift if you wish, or you can reach out to our Customer Service Team (800-638-6464 or via chat on patagonia.com) for help with an exchange.

My Everything Coat
This is actually my second Radalie Parka. I sadly accidently left my last one behind at a hotel on a trip and it wasn't recovered:( I had to have it back! My last one I had for almost 7 years and it still looked new. It is warm and functional and easy to move in. I wear it everywhere.
The snug fit kept me warm in a mild temperatures of 55 degrees F; however, it is not warm enough for colder temperatures in the 40s without wearing a sweater. Unfortunately, there is not enough room to also wear a sweater. I only realized this after wearing the coat once; but it was too late to return. Please alert customers. Thanks, Susan
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review! We are incredibly sorry to hear that this item did not fully work out for you.

As for the return, you are more than welcome to return it to us even if you did wear it.
I love the look and warmth of this coat however every time I put it on, the zipper gets stuck in the fabric. Every single time. I struggle to get the fabric out and zip up.

Love the jacket, but runs way too small
This is a really nice jacket and was sad to return it due to the fact that it was way too small. If you were to wear a sweater, which most of us do during winter, underneath it you would feel like the kid in Christmas Story. Would need to try it on in store before ordering online for proper sizing.
Hey Kathy, thanks for the review. This parka has a slim fit so we could see how layering underneath would have you feeling like the kid from the Christmas Story. Sizing up could help with this though, if you'd like garment measurements to make sure, check in with our [customer service team](https://help.patagonia.com/s/?_gl=1*1lcbw6a*_ga*MTE3MzgxOTU4OS4xNjQ3NTMxMTc0*_ga_1SYPSJZYJ5*MTY3MTQ4NzMwMS4zNTAuMS4xNjcxNDg3ODA3LjAuMC4w).

Happy Holidays to you!

Great Gift
I gave this as a gift to my fiancé and she absolutely loved it. It runs a tad bit small but she didnt seem to have a problem with it.
We're glad to hear this one is working well for her! Our Radalie Parka is one of our slim fit designs so it may feel more snug and close-fitting than our regular or relaxed fit styles. We hope she loves the gift and encourage her to submit a review if she would like to provide any additional feedback. Thanks Erik!

This coat seems a bit
This coat seems a bit snug across the upper back which makes layering difficult. The sleeves are quite long and causes me to push them up often.
I love the extra pockets. Its warm without weighing me down.

Warm but not bulky
I have this jacket in black and love the look. It's a tad long for me but I love that on very cold days. I also love the way it looks on - stylish but not bulky.
I love this parka, its so soft and its surprisingly warm in the cold north east weather. It does run small so if you plan to wear a fleece underneath it size up. Its very well made, like the lining and fleece on the inside of the cuff and kneck are soft against your skin. They dont have petite sizes so I had to turn the cuff back - but the design o... Read Moref this coat makes that possible. I will buy another color for sure.
I originally bought this coat in a small which is what I wear in most clothing but this coat was tight across the shoulders. Customer service was very helpful and efficient in making the exchange to a medium.
The jacket is light weight and easy to carry around if you need to slip it off while inside. The length is perfect to cover under layers like longer tops or sweaters, and yet this style isn't boxy. Warm, but not too warm, it does a great job against the cold wind. Finally, I love the green color.
I can't give this item a star rating or say if I would recommend to a friend because I am such a big fan of Patagonia products and it may just be the cut of this item might not work for me? I usually wear a medium but since I may wear this over thicker sweater, I ordered a large. I felt that it wasn't roomy enough so I ordered an extra la... Read Morerge, which ends up looking too big!

Hey Susan, thank you for the review. Our Radalie Parka has a slim fit, so it won't be the ideal option to try to size up in.

Well Made and Flattering
I got this jacket to wear to bed from work and for hikes with my dog. It has quickly become one of my favorite pieces of clothing I own. It easily dresses up or down and the green color is beautifully striking in person.
As a super tall (6 ft) woman with lanky arms, I was very pleasantly surprised by the sleeve length. Even without sizing up, the... Read More sleeves fit me wonderfully so the jacket stays super flattering.
I bough this coat 2 years ago in a size too big for layering and wore it everywhere from early fall through late fall. It stood up so well that I bought a replacement this year.
On the positive side, it's a great weight and length for my purposes. I wore a heavy sweater coat under it with turtleneck and base layers in single digits and threw... Read More it on over sweat shirts on chilly evenings. The pockets are roomy but not bulky and my iPhone 13 Promax fits in the exterior breast pocket for super easy access. The material hasn't torn or frayed and the cuffs are intact after 2 years. If it wasn't covered w stains from eating on the run and greasy dog treats is still be wearing it.
Negatives, the breast pocket should be insulated to protect your iPhone from freezing weather. Keeping your phone warm and dry is important and that breast pocket is too exposed and gets soaked easily. The entire coat could be more rain-resistant, although I have often tucked it into the top of my rain pants and thrown a rain jacket over it.
The zipper began getting caught after about 18 months of use and that drives me nuts.
If they'd insulted that exterior-zip breast pocket and reinforce the zipper area this can't would be awesome.
While the Radalie runs way-small, she is worth the math, time, and trouble. Unfortunately, I had to purchased this parka three separate times before I found the perfect fit. However, once I got the right size for me, it was a match made in heaven. Every time I rock my Radalie I get compliments. A pointer for all those curvy/ hourglass ladies like m...

Perfect Fall into Winter jacket
First time buyer and plan to purchase more products because I love this jacket.
I've read somewhere that this style runs small so I bought the next size up. I am usually a large so I got the XL.

I just received my Radalie parka in red. It's gorgeous! Sadly, it doesn't fit. I was really hoping the large would work, because the medium I tried in the store was too snug.

I like the coat as a transitional piece in the fall and early winter. It has sufficient pockets and windproof qualities. One drawback is that the sleeves are too long.

A Great Coat
I have looked at this coat last Season and didn't purchase. I was able try in on in a Patagonia store and knew I had to have this coat. The coat runs true to size and is fitted.
I chose a medium and can still wear a sweater under it. I wouldn't wear a vest as it would be to much.
Looking forward to wearing it this winter.
The coat is w... Read Moreell designed and of quality!
I have seen this or a similar style Patagonia jacket being worn by people for a few years now and always thought it was very flattering. I was so happy to find one on sale! This is the lowest price I have ever seen this, and my favorite color is blue, I love the New Navy color of this jacket. Its extremely pretty and a classic color.
I bought the ... Read MoreXS before reading the reviews and was nervous that it would be too tight and long for me. It actually fits me perfectly. I am very petite at 410 and find that the length is actually exactly where I had hoped it would be on me. It comes about two inches above my knee and the sleeves hit about mid palm. The sleeves feel great on me. I weight lift so I have larger arms for my size and can easily fit a bulky sweater in them. I love the slender look of the jacket as well. For reference my waist is 25, bust is 31, hips are 35. I usually choose a small in jackets but since the XS was the only one on sale, I decided to gamble and was pleasantly surprised. Being so small, its very hard for me to find a warm coat that doesnt swallow me up. This one is very flattering on me and shows my waist a bit.
I love how lightweight it is as well. I hate heavy coats so I see myself wearing this one all of the time. The double zipper is very nice as well. I have not had the issue with the zipper getting stuck like a lot of others have. It zips very smoothly for me.
Best of all, this coat is VEGAN! After seeing how popular it was in my area (Michigans Keweenaw Peninsula), I assumed it was down. Especially with how thin and light it is. I was so happy to see that it is fully synthetic and partially recycled on top of that.
I LOVE THIS JACKET!
I have a small bust (32)/waist (26) and big hips (40), and its very hard to find longer jackets that fit on the top and the bottom. I was worried this would either be too tight in the hips or too roomy up top, but it fits great. I ordered a size up to make sure it fit in the hips, and Im pleasantly surprised that the chest is just right (roomy enou... Read Moregh for a sweater, not too big that I cant wear it alone). Looking forward to wearing it this fall and seeing how it does in the winter.
I'm 5' and 106 pounds. Unbelievably, the size S fits well. I'm sure that this coat is longer on me than someone who is average height or above, but it's fine the way it is. Beautiful beige/gray color.
The fabric is very soft and warm and I think I will use this more for travel and going out rather than sports. I am usually an extra small but it ran too tight in the chest and arms so got the small. I love all of the pockets!
I typically order a small but due to the reviews I ordered a medium. It feels very big but Im afraid the arms would be too tight in a small. Its weird because I have very thin arms. I was tempted to exchange it for a small but it would be uncomfortable in the arms wearing a bulky sweater.

Zipper poorly designed
I love everything about this coat except the zipper. The fabric on either side of the zipper overlaps the zipper just enough to get caught in the zipper mechanism every single time I put the coat on.

Forearms too small
Tried so hard to make this work as I love the color, but lower sleeves are uncomfortably small and I don't hhave abnormally big forearms. If you consider your forearms as skinny, then this will work.
The fit is 2 tight I had to go up 2 sizes. Im between a small and a medium but usually wear small. This was so tight I had to get a size large.
Cute jacket and warm but definitely size up
Older women have to fit our waistlines, so I went up a size. I really like the style, and the only complaint I have is that the zipper gets caught in the fabric as you zip up the coat. I then have to start over and make sure the fabric is out of the way.

This jacket fits nicely. It keeps me warm and it has a nice tailored look.
I love this jacket I am 54 weight 156 order a M the first time it fit okay. So decided to exchange for a L and it fits much better gives me space to layer the jacket. My advice is just to size up.
This jacket is just the one I have been looking for. It is great for casual wear and travel. The length is great to cover the back. It is thin but warm enough to be packed for travel.
Hello Ann, thanks for the feedback. This parka in particular does have a slim fit. You can check on the fit for any item by going to it's product page and scrolling down to the size range options, underneath will be either slim, regular, or relaxed fit. This is a helpful feature to give you an idea of how a particular item will sit on the body. For a similar parka with a regular fit, we recommend the [Women's Nano Puff Parka](https://www.patagonia.com/product/womens-nano-puff-parka/26870.html?dwvar_26870_color=NENA&cgid=womens-jackets-vests-parkas).
First parka type jacket that actually fit my body and was still very comfortable and warm. Great color!! Wish I could see more of this lighter green color!
Love this coat. Very light weight. Will probably get it another color! Definitely recommend but does run small. Wanted it a little big so I could wear layer underneath and feel comfortable.
I read so many reviews about size running small but Im glad I didnt size up. Im 5-5 at 116 (32-27-36) and size S fits me well without being tight-fitted at all. Upper arms are rather wider cut compared to the forearms. I wouldnt recommend sizing up unless youre rather a curvy build.
I like everything about this jacket but the zipper does get caught every so often when I am trying to zip up. But other than that, I love this jacket and especially the fleece near the cuffs.
We appreciate your feedback! If you'd like to get your zipper replaced, please don't hesitate to reach out to a [Patagonia-owned store](https://www.patagonia.com/store-locator/) near you, or our Customer Service team. We'll be happy to help!

Too small...and too big
This coat has an odd fit. The sleeves were too short, the chest/back was too tight, but the waist was too loose. The design, materials and features are great and account for the 3 stars. Note to Patagonia: please include an option for odd fit or other. I checked "Runs Small" but as you can see, that's only half of the story.
Love the parka but it comes in slim fit. Slim fit runs slim. I am 5'4" and medium in the regular styles. But this parka was too snug through the shoulders. Next yr I will oder on in large in black since there are no more in stock this yr.
After a good experience with customer service about replacing a parka with a broken zipper, I am disappointed in the fit of the replacement. The Radalie Parka is very tight across the chest. I ordered the same size as my last one, I can't recommend this product.
Thank you for sharing this review, Pauline. We're sorry to hear this parka isn't the right fit for you! You're right, the Radalie Parka is definitely a slim cut.

Lets start with the positives: Patagonias customer service, their return/exchange quickness, and the green color! All 5 stars! The downside is the sizing. Definitely not right for my body type.

Its a bummer, but again, just because it didnt work for me doesnt mean it wont look amazing on you!
While I love this parka I thinks is really unfortunate that Patagonias Slim Fit is designed for people without curves. I am an average size hourglass shape and this parka has no hip room and no room for my chest. The saddest part is the next size up has the same problem. ️

Warm and comfortable
I bought the coat a tad larger maybe than I needed but in super cold weather, I want to wear a wool sweater comfortably under this long coat. Love that its lightweight so its easy to stash aside when indoors and warm but light to wear outside all day.
Returned this coat after two attempts with sizing. I have worn Patagonia for many years but now finding it difficult regarding the small sizing in their offerings. Please go back to real sizing! Thanks
Based on other reviews, I sized up from a M to a L and it fits perfect. The color is a delighter for me - such a happy vibrant and verdant green. I plan on wearing this in both the summer and the fall here in MN. Soft on inside and nice length cut, above the knee. Beautiful!
I so wanted to love this, but couldn't. The shape and lightweight appealed to me, as did the stunning bright green color. However, there's no give or flexibility in the materials, which make layering with this coat challenging given how it runs the border between true to size and kinda small.
Hi Laurie, thank you for sharing your thoughts on this parka! We're sorry that fit and fabric don't seem to be working for you. Please keep in mind you are always welcome to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) anything that doesn’t work out for you.

Not warm enough
I bought this coat because I needed a new winter coat to replace one that I had that was really warm. Disappointed that this feels very thin and I am cold as soon as I leave the house.

Love this coat! It is lightweight, yet warm. It does run small, though. I received this as a gift in a Med and was able to exchange for a Lg with no issue. The Lg fits much better and allows for more arm movement when doing things, such as driving. Both of my daughters also have this coat and sized up. They also love it!
My husband gave me the shorter version for Xmas. I returned it and got this one Bec I wanted something longer in length! Its snug fitting! I love it! Im a size 8 and 54 and a large fit me! Love the color. It keep you so warm!! Love this!
I found it to run small! I am always a medium, and when putting it on the arms were hard to get in! A large would be too big, so I chose to keep the medium.
I love this jacket! I work at a local outdoor store in Oregon, and saw this jacket in our store earlier this winter. I ordered it online recently and it is gorgeous.

Read Mores tapered well to my waist and hips. I love Patagonias commitment to the environment, and this jacket is made with Thermogreen which is made from 90% recycled materials and also wont get soggy in the constant rain here. Its definitely fancier than other jackets of theirs, so I probably wont be skiing or hiking in it. But I would totally recommend this to anyone looking for a fashionable, warm winter coat!
Bought this for my 19 year old daughter in a small. She generally runs between an xs-s in sizing and the small was perfect. Very warm and stylish. Perfect for cold winters.
I just could not get the right fit
The front shoulder to shoulder is too tight
I tried the medium , too tight
Wanted black large but not available so ordered the silver in XL
Way too big
Only color you now have is silver
Thx!!
Was looking for a less puffy parka for winters living in the South and this coat is exactly as I hoped! Fits true to size, cant layer heavy since I got a small, but thats the fit I was looking for, I weigh 145lbs for frame of reference.
I've worn large Patagonia jackets for decades. They fit loosely even w fleece under it. This one says it measures 40 in on the chart but it is 36 inches and can't fit anything under it but a tee. I got it for Xmas and am miserable - cannot breathe!

Love this, please make a hooded version!!!
I absolutely love this jacket, I bought it in black and the darker green, a couple years ago, and it's still in great condition and keeps me warm. I just recently purchased the navy blue as well, that's how much I love it. I could literally go the whole winter in MN with this and no layering and I have and it kept me warm. I love it, plea... Read Morese please please make a hooded version next!!
Very happy with this purchase. The tailored look is great. It keeps me warm and is very lightweight. I love all the pockets - very useful. Glad I bought the medium but it's not roomy enough for heavy layers underneath.
Well made jacket with great colors. I personally prefer when the jacket creates a waistline with internal drawstrings. This has more of an "A" shape to it. It also runs very small. I'm consistently a small across vendors (measurements: 36A, 28 waist, 5'6", 140lb) and in this I was Medium even though other coats by this bran... Read Mored I wear a Small.
We appreciate your feedback, Jill! The Radalie Parka is a "slim" fit design, so customers often size up, especially with a longer parka that needs to equally accommodate shoulders to hips. If you'd like to return the Radalie and choose a "regular" fit parka, please reach out to our Customer Service team. We'll be happy to [help](https://help.patagonia.com/s/)!

Love it
I bought this jacket 2 yrs ago and love it so I bought another one in different color this year. I also recommended it to my mom & 2 of my sisters. They all bought the jacket and love it too.
I love this length. It's long, has shape for my curves, has double zippers for my curves, four pockets and lots of visual interest with the stitching. This is my second jacket like this. It's like wearing a barrel in the wind, very impressive. I'm short so the sleeves are a little longer than they need to be, but overall it's a ... Read Moregreat jacket!
This parka is attractive but shoulders are cut way too small
Do not order your normal size
I had to go up 2 sizes to even wear a light turtleneck underneath and I am small chested and lean
This is a slim fit jacket! Originally purchased a large (usual size in jackets) and exchanged for the xl to accommodate the hips. I knew it was slim fit but preferred the stitching on this coat!
I am 5'5 and 104lb. I originally ordered a size small and i absolutely loved the coat. It fit me perfectly and was the exact length I was looking for, the only issue I had was the coat was too snug in the shoulders and I could not move my arms very well so i exchanged the coat for a medium. Once i received the medium I thought the coat was &qu...

But the coat does now fit in the shoulders which is what i needed. Overall the exchange process went super smoothly and took less than 5 days to receive my replacement coat...
-Will I order a Patagonia coat again? possibly, It seems like a warm coat for the price.
-Will i order a parka? No. I am to skinny and short, Their coats do not fit me well.
Hi Shannon, thank you for sharing your experience with the Radalie Parka. We just want to make sure you know you can still return the Medium you had received as an exchange if you're not happy with it. Please fee free to call our Customer Service Team at (800) 638-6464 and they will be happy to help you with a return and to pick out something that will fit you better, if you like.

On the fence.Will probably go back.
My husband bought this for me in a Medium and my arms and shoulders were restricted although the rest of the coat fit nicely and was flattering. I decided to exchage for the Large and although it fits slightly better through the top it is too big on the bottom. There is a funky buldge about 5 inches up the front zipper area that will not lay straig... Read Moreht. I have looked at other light wieght coats from Patagonia and never bought one because of the sizing issues they seem to have. One size too small the next size up to big on the bottom. I know this is considered a slim fit but the sizing is strange. 5'7 125 pounds 34B. The coat is warm but impossible to wear more than one layer underneath so I guess it will go back. Sorry Hubby!
Love it because it covers so much for winter walking!
This was a gift for my good friend and she is elated!!!I have the navy in XL and she saw it and wanted one! I have cancer and she is the person who takes me to chemo and does so much for me.. Shes so excited to wear this to Chicago for Christmas..Itll be perfect!

Great jacket.
Usually would wear a small but had to size up because of tighter fit. Med is much better but keep in mind it is a snugger fit. Other than that it is a great jacket. Lightweight, not bulky which is perfect.
The Patagonia fit is terrible on me. Its too small and tight in arms/shoulder/back areas that I cannot lift my arms. I have stick arms and a small back, so whats the deal? Why is there no stretch?
I've never experience such a bad fit across all the outdoor brands. The color was fine.
Ordered this in a medium and it fit but could not wear a sweater under the jacket so exchanged for a LG and its perfect Light weight but warm Im 55 140#
I love everything about this jacket except for the arms. The forearm and elbow area is tight even with just a thin shirt underneath. It pulls uncomfortably when I try to bend my arms. I'm relatively small and usually wear a size xs. I sized up to a small due to the arms, and they are still a bit tight even though the rest of the jacket has ple... Read Morenty of room.
Amazing customer service. Im usually a medium, but it arrived a little small in the shoulders.

Oh, the arms are a little long for me, but I just rolled up the sleeves a little and it still looks cute and works well.
This coat is perfect. I love the look and the fit. Covers the butt and thighs for extra warmth. Looks great with everything. Easy to wear with layers. Warm, but not too toasty, which is perfect for me. Just bought my second one
This coat runs very small. Everything was nice about it, except the fit. I went by the sizing chart. I first ordered a large (due to my size) and it came nowhere close to zipping. I then exchanged it for an XL and it partially zipped but unfortunately is made for someone without any hips or chest.
This parka is a "slim" fit design, so you might prefer your normal size in a "regular" fit which will give you a bit more room to layer. We recommend the Nano Puff Parka but you can certainly reach out to our Customer Service team for help to return or exchange.

Bizarre fitting jacket
Bad fit in arms, I have stick arms, I could barely lift my arms!! The chest was huge, Im 36 C, at least two sizes too big, overall the style looked horrible, did nothing for a statuesque womans body. I got in extra-large for length in arms (the irony!) and body, and also because, I have a better sweater zip in a large that just barely fits in arm/b... Read Moreody length. Why, why, why would an outdoor clothing co. make a womans jacket based on a one size fits all idea? And why does every garment run oddly small in places? So fed up with OS fits all mentality, women need tall, reg., petite and 1X in every size, ugh! Okay
Im 510 and 8 months pregnant and bought an XL. I would normally buy a medium or large, but because of the pregnancy and slim fit I went up to an XL. It fits great in the shoulders and arms and the length is perfect for me. Im pretty confident Ill be able to enjoy this coat post pregnancy too due to how well the jacket fits in the shoulder/arm area.... Read More I love the stitching details on the sleeves and back area. The pockets are also nice and soft inside. The jacket also is warm, but not too hot & I can wear a light sweater underneath. Perfect for running errands and walks. I will probably buy a second one to keep in case this one ever breaks down since I love it so much & thats saying a lot as I am very picky!
This is a well made coat for moderate cool weather but not for deep freeze temps. I am 5'1 , 116 lbs, petite build and not overly busty, (34 C) but the chest area runs small. I will keep the coat but will not be able to wear a sweater under it. If I went up to med. the sleeves would be too long and shoulders too big.
This parka is a "slim" fit design, so you might prefer your normal size in a "regular" fit which will give you a bit more room to layer.

Obsessed!
I just went to two different REI stores looking for the better fit and Im SO GLAD I did. That said, I am 58 and 170 pounds. Slightly more pear-shaped but proportionate. Got this in a Large and its definitely a slim fit, however I tried on the XL and it was much, much too big.
I live in San Francisco and although it gets cold here, its not like we ... Read Morehave frosty winters, so I wanted something that I simply wouldnt freeze in. This is coat fits the bill! Incredibly flattering, quality material and craftsmanship, and honestly pretty competitive price-wise. I also run warm and walk the city a lot - so I don't need some thick, bulky coat. If thats what youre looking for, this jacket probably isnt what you want.
My ONLY qualm is that I wish the sleeves were maybe half an inch longer. My tall ladies will know what I mean. They are perfectly fine in length, I simply like a little more sleeve, if that makes sense. And not an issue but simply a preference I have, the pocket material is the same as the outside. If youre like me and prefer a warm felt pocket, this sadly doesnt have em.
But overall an excellent jacket!
I'm usually a petite medium (size 8) and based on reviews about this coat being slim cut, I ordered a large, it was huge on me. Sleeves were way too long and way too long in length. I was swimming in it.
Hello Renee, we are sorry that the fit did not work out. If you have not already done so, please feel free to [return or exchange](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) the parka. Please note that we are happy to provide any garment measurements so don't hesitate to contact us.

Terrible Zipper
I love this jacket, I also purchased one for my daughter last winter. My daughter in law also owns this jacket, All three of us constantly struggle with the zipper. It gets stuck every time I try to zip it. I always have to step out of the jacket because It is impossible to unzip it without the zipper getting stuck. Extremely disappointed. We expec... Read Moret much better quality from Patagonia.
Hi Eileen, thanks for taking the time to write this review and we're sorry to hear you're having issues with the zipper on the Radalie Parka. The most common reason zippers get stuck is that dirt and debris often lodges in the zipper slider. Cleaning and lubricating your zipper helps to extend its life and prevents sticking, oxidizing, and jamming. Check out this [tutorial](https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/How+to+Lubricate+a+Zipper/19450) for more information on how to do this.

Gift
I bought this for my daughter in law and she LOVES it. Light weight but very warm. Super comfy.
I plan to use this beautiful, warm parka when our Northwest days get a bit colder. I like the light olive color and the slim fit. Because I'm short, the hem reaches to just above my knee. The arms are a little long, but I just fold them to the inside, and that works fine.
I love the Radalie Parka. I'm replacing a very old bomber style synthetic fill jacket and hoping the Radalie will be warm enough when the NE winter arrives. I'm 5'11", 139 lbs, 32"bust, 31" waist, 37" hips, broad shoulders, long arms and torso. I purchased a large and I find it to fit perfectly on me with a sweate... Read Morer layer underneath. I prefer a little room in the shoulders, so I can layer without feeling constricted. The large definitely accomodates that. I may be able to wear a medium (I'm a medium in the Frozen Range Parka, which is a regular fit), but I prefer large for the sleeve length and room in the shoulders and chest. I also purchased the Torrentshell City Coat in size large to go over the Radalie as an extra wind and water protection layer. They fit really well together: same length, plenty of room for layers, City Coat has a hood. I'm very happy!
This coat (size small) was purchased for a young woman who wears size 0 or 00 jeans. The small is so tight she can barely move her arms with a light t shirt on. The color is beautiful and the weight is perfect for early fall/winter in NE
Thanks for the feedback Kerry. Our Radalie Parka is a slim fit parka. For a looser fit you may prefer our [Women's Nano Puff® Parka](https://www.patagonia.com/product/womens-nano-puff-parka/26870.html).

Stiff
I bought this jacket on sale but ended up retuning it. I had bought size xs and small. The xs was too tight and while the small fit me, I found the jacket too stiff and shiny. I have a Fiona in xs from few years back and I love how light it feels but this one felt too stiff.
I have this coat in two colors. I absolutely love it. I bought the extra large so I can wear it when I am layering. My other two are size Large and they fit great but I dont like clothing that fit tight. I would highly recommend this coat. It is a ️️️️️.

Lightweight but seems watm
I purchased the Medium and it was a bit snug so, returned. Unfortunately, no large sizes leftvery nice color!
Its super lightweight and I like the color. It fits perfectly!..I dont how warm its gonna be becuase of the current season. But, with its price, its 5 star!.
Since I'm petite, it is often difficult to find a coat that fits well. This Patagonia fits me perfectly, is very light weight but keeps me warm, especially with proper base wear.
I love the color and Im glad I listened to other reviews and bought a size larger than I usually wear. Its still a little tight in the back but I can get away with it. Its fairly lightweight so Id probably save it for a 40ish degree day.
Im petite so its a bit longer on me than I wanted. But it fits great and is super warm for mountain hiking while its also ok to wear everyday. Great look too.
Was looking for a long coat that didnt have a hood attached. Could only find a Patagonia. The coat is very comfortable and warm. Because my bust is big, I had to go from a large to extra large because this coat was snug across the chest.
Great jacket for those cool-in-between kind-of days along the NJ shore in spring & fall. Light enough to feel like I'm not encumbered by "too much" coat - perfect level of light-weight warmth. Nice slender-slim silhouette, but can run tight in the shoulders. This is not a coat to wear layers under. Works for me & my preferenc... Read Moree for cashmere sweaters. I'm 5'4", trim-athletic build, slightly broad shoulders. Gave it 4-stars because I tried several XS before finding one that works for me thru the shoulders - and would actually prefer it about one-inch shorter in length for those of shorter stature. However, SO happy to have found a nice light color that will work great any time of year, and love that it was on sale!! Thank you Patagonia!
