The amazingly stylish seam tape will turn heads wherever you go.

SKIER & CLIMBER FRIENDLY - Napoleon pocket for lift passes, Twin zippered, pack compatible pockets for access while climbing, Adjustable helmet compatible hood.
'Once I crossed over onto the exposed ridge above treeline, the wind was howling, covering me in a mist...Cayambe blocked both the wind and driving mist.
'I found the wrist gaiters particularly helpful when it came to warming my hands. They also prevented the wind from blowing up my sleeves.'
'The precipitation changed back and forth from light misting rain to snow to sleet several times. The Cayambe kept all forms of moisture out and my body heat in.'
'Cayambe jacket acted as two items in one. On all these outings I was able to leave behind my rain jacket and down pullover.'
'Without downplaying this jacket's utility on the trail or in camp, I've appreciated it the most when fishing. I've walk-waded the Yellowstone, Gallatin, and Madison Rivers when the mercury was near freezing and snow and sleet falling. The Cayambe has been great. The sleeve liners keep out the wind and the athletic fit keeps me warm as I chase the wily trout.'
'Water repellency is as good as I've ever encountered with a jacket marketed as a soft shell.'
'This jacket has been especially durable; it truly looks like new after several months' use and abuse on the trail.'
'Cayambe is really terrific within its temperature range - depending upon midlayers worn, from 18-50 F (-8 to 10 C).'

Great all purpose active outerwear
Comfortable and breathable jacket that does a great job keeping the rain, sleet and wind out while moving in nature. And it looks nice enough to wear in the city, too.

A:Hi Amy,
This jacket is running small and we recommend everyone to go up one size. Our experience has been that every female customers of ours who has ordered 2XL could not fit in it. For almost all of them, we had to send the men's 2XL. Till now, the Men's 2XL is what has fit...view more our female customers looking for 2XL. So, based on that experience, I will recommend the Men's 2XL to you as well.
For your specific question, the recommended chest size for women's 2XL is 46-47". Assume it to be a bit on the tighter side of this range.
CHEST/BUST: Measure the chest circumference from behind, keep the tape horizontal around the body and hold it across the fullest part of the chest.
Hope that helps.
Thanks,
Kapilview less
