Here's what other sites are saying:

From EMS:
"Our designers slimmed down the fit, streamlined the zipper seals, and did everything else possible to minimize weight without sacrificing the mountain-friendly features. The result is a noninsulated, expedition-ready jacket that weighs only 1 pound 4 ounces (men's large). Ripstop nylon shell with reinforced arms and shoulders. 3-layer Gore-Tex XCR membrane is built to withstand the abrasion-rich life of ice climbing and mountaineering. Gore-Tex XCR is as waterproof as original Gore-Tex and 25% more breathable. Roll-up, adjustable hood is large enough to accommodate a climbing or skiing helmet. Fit is slimmer, slightly more climber-friendly than the typical noninsulated shell. Underarm pit zips let you vent in cooler air; all zippers on jacket are urethane-sealed to keep out snow and rain. Two inner mesh pockets; cinch cords on hem and waist; adjustable wrist cuffs; dual front pockets are located high to stay out of the way of a climbing harness. *Jacket length (as opposed to a longer parka) is great for mountaineers looking to minimize bulk; back length = 30.5 inches (men's large)."

"I purchased this jacket in a size medium for two reasons. I normally wear a size large jacket, however this was sitting on the clearance rack at my local EMS, and I thought I would give it a shot. This normally retails for $300. For my body, I can never find a good compromise between torso legth, arm sleeve length, and hood size."
