I usually wear size 10 with jackets but sometimes I have found with Kathmandu items I can wear size 6 or eight. Do the sizes have plenty of room? For example, is size 8 very roomy? I just don’t want to buy size 10 and find out it is too big
Asked by: Mandy31
The Trailhead jacket is a regular fit based on our standard Kathmandu sizing, not over-sized.

Great fit and warmth!Great tailored fit that is very comfortable to wear and excellent quality . Highly recommend if you are looking for a quality fleece jacket that won't rub and washes well. Close fitting style that also fits well under a jacket for additional warmth.

Light and cosy on cool Summer days!Love this top as an extra layer when days are cooler but not needing a heavier jacket. Already have one in the purple colour and if a blue one becomes available in my size will definitely buy that too!

Great WeightI bought this for a 5 day cycle tour of the South Island and was very happy that I did. It was perfect -provided warmth to start the cooler mornings & snug around the neck, unzipped in the northerly wind and lightweight to tuck in the saddlebag when the days got hot. Easily fitted essentials like lip balm, phone in pockets.
