<title>Any zippin compatible fleece jackets? Besides non-fleece zippins</title>
<link>http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Marmot-Tamarack-Jacket-Mens/MAR1231M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_136978#question_136978</link>
<description>Marmot Tamarack Jacket - Men&#x27;s&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;Any zippin compatible fleece jackets? Besides non-fleece zippins like the Cauldron, are there any Marmot fleece jackets that are zippin compatible with the Tamarack? I&#x26;#39;ve already tried the Marmot Roasta fleece jacket, and the zippers are unfortunately not compatible.</description>

I&#x26;#39;m 5&#x26;#39;8&#x26;quot; 150 typically were a M - I know I need to layer under this so I am assuming a M will work but if it runs very big then would a S be better?</description>

<description>Marmot Storm Front Jacket - Men&#x27;s&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;Large fit. I got this jacket in Black XL today, and this is just an FYI that this jacket has a surprisingly large fit. I typically wear size XL shell (6&#x26;#39;2&#x26;quot; 190s). I was expecting this jacket to be standard fit and similar fit to the Marmot Tamarack, but this jacket is both longer and more baggy. If in doubt, I recommend going a size smaller or go with a more standard fit (and nicer) jacket like the Tamarack.</description>

<description>Outdoor Research Mentor Jacket - Men&#x27;s&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;recently purchased one of these jackets in a medium size.  I&#x26;#39;m 5&#x26;#39;8, 40&#x26;#39; chest, 32&#x26;#39;waist and 176lbs, and i was surprised to see how large it was.  i&#x26;#39;m aware that it&#x26;#39;s meant to accomodate layering but the sleeves billowed and the body wasn&#x26;#39;t quite as fitted as i&#x26;#39;d initially thought.  i also have a rab latok alpine shell which seems to be more fitted.  anyone else had sizing issues with the mentor?</description>
