get one
I use one. I like it. I would do a few moddys though but all and all great fit and good sevice. They took it back no questions and fixed it. Pit zips are essential and get as meny pockets as possible. I got the hood too, super gay but warm and useful.
Only thing I would change is the shoulder construction. One seam too many up there but I can live with it.
Encourage the little guyz doing something different ...
I asked for a biker fit and extra long arms. Good for touring.Give me a beat to pump to fatty.

Thanks for the heads up. Looks nice, but price is not god with options. looking at a mountain hardware alchemy jacket for about $200. These jackets cost the same when youe add pockets, and pit vents.

The problem is I'm a lanky fack, so the other jackets all have arms that are too short in large, and when I go up to XL the arms fit but the rest is huuge. Tried the Mountain hardware, marmot, and REI jackets so far.

Question: anyone know the diff. betw. Schoeller dryskin extreme and schoeller WB-400 fabrics? Schoeller's website didn't help much.

I have one of their fleece jackets. I wore it every day and it's a great piece of gear. Having a custom fit actually makes the jacket warmer; less air escapes. It's a big difference.
They were a bit disorganized with my order, but were always very courteous and worked hard to make things right.
Frankly, I can't see why anyone would pay the same money for something off the rack that's made in a sweatshop in China or Malaysia. Keep Americans employed and get a custom fit...what's not to like?
Here's a couple more places that make custom fit gear in America:
