Anyone have experience with this jacket? Trying to figure out how accurate the sizing is.

I have one that I bought on close out last year. It looks a little different then the current model.
I'm about 6', 230 lbs with short legs and a long torso. An XL fits me well. The waist is a little short but like i said, I have a long torso. If I were proportioned like a normal person it would be spot on.

I have the latest version, the one with the arm adjusters. I have owned a bunch of FG jackets, even the original Teton, but this lastest version is somewhat tighter than the other size large jackets I have owned from FG. I can still wear it, and get my heated jacket + the included liner on and still wear the Teton, but it is a tad snug, not enough to not wear it though.
My chest measures 42" at the widest part, I am 6' and 180 #. Love the jacket

Thanks. Anyone use it warm to hot weather. Looking for a summer/fall jacket and it seems to have decent reviews.

It has good venting, I ride behind a fairing and shield which blocks a lot of wind on the chest but if you are on a non faired bike I think as long as it was 80° or lower it would be fine for me. I would hate to have to wear it in the summers down south. I use this as my "winter" jacket, but living in Savannah GA, we don't get a lot of winter, although a few weeks ago it was 32° when I left out on a 200 mile ride.

I ride a naked bike and don't think the jacket vents well. I would say it's uncomfortably warm when it's 80 out. But that's subjective. Seems well made and has kept me dry in the limited rain (no downpours) that I've subjected it to. Overall, I'm very happy with it for the money I spent (wildly discounted). I have nicely vented summer gear for temps from 65 to 100.

I picked up the latest version last fall on the way home from estn. Rode from columbus OH to the MI border in the rain without a drop getting in. I'm 5'10" 160# and have a large. With my gerbings underneath it is a little on the snug side but not overly. I have the waist adjusters all the way out. The liner I was a little disappointed in. It is very tight getting my hands to come out the sleeve, no adjustment here. I wear large-xlarge gloves so my hands are on the larger side. This is no big deal for me as I wear the gerbings as my liner anyway. Have not had it out in hot weather yet, but so far am very pleased with it.
