I am 5'&"" and around 130lbs, and nearly always wear a small or medium (depending my layering needs). I ordered a medium since I knew I wanted the option to layer my origin hoodie under it. Before ordering I was torn on getting a mens small or the women's sizing, but decided to pursue the women's size. To my surprise the women's medium did not fit me! I couldn't even get the jacket to fully zip up, as it was very constricted at my neck, as well as my upper arms. I am not busty, but have broad shoulders, so maybe that is why this neck issue happened? I returned the jacket and ordered a large, and the fit was better The stomach area is a tad roomier than I'd prefer, but everywhere else fits well. I enjoy the features and LOVE the hole for the FAS harness, so I can hike out with the jacket off, then throw it on once I'm in my stand. The magnet holes are great for slipping my hands inside to keep them warm. Excited to get more field use next winter.

I bought two full sets (light & heavy bibs/pants/jackets) of gear a few years ago (because I loved what my husband had bought from FL) and remember being incredibly frustrated that the women's line was so much less thought out and how odd the fit was for a ""women's fit"" (plus the women's line didn't come in the specter pattern). When I saw this line come out, it was good news/bad news-- here goes another $1,000+ to buy everything new in the specter pattern, but hopefully it fits better, is more practical, and keeps me warmer than the last set. Thankfully, it does. It took a while for FL to figure this out- but I am happy to say that they have. I've used this set a handful of times already and am happy to share that the Core Jacket & Bibs are great, fit way better than past women's pants/bibs/jackets, and include all of those practical benefits that the men's gear does.

Ive used this coat three times this year already and it so warm coming from someone who runs cold. The fit is a little tight and I sized up so keep that in mind. I wore the furnace hoody underneath in 40 degree weather and I was very comfortable. Definitely recommend!

The Core jacket and bib are the best whitetail kit for women in my opinion. Extremely quiet, designed for bow hunters, and the KitLink system is a game changer. Well done First Lite!

We purchased for late October, and early November hunting. Needed a good mid season wear that had good movement. Got this with the bibs. Movement is very good, size good, and seemed to be very warm and well placed pockets for the set. Overall happy
