Features
Dragonfly Jacket
Size: XXS-XXL
Weight: Size medium jacket weighs 164g / 5.8oz.
Fit: Dragonfly Jacket has a regular, layering friendly fit. Most will fit in size usually worn. If you are on the slim side of your side, you may like to size down. Unisex fit: Men's fit usually true to size. If you normally wear a size medium, a size medium is your size - if you are slim/thin, or wish for a closer to body fit, you may wish to size down. Women’s fit is generally one size down for best fit. If you normally would wear a women’s medium, a size small is your size. If you are petite or on the smaller side of your usual size range, sizing down two sizes works well.
