The shell keeps what it promises in the photos! But definitely one size bigger order! Carrying usually 40/42 and ordered him to 42 and 44. With a slightly thicker sweater would be 42 in the waist definitely too tight, so I keep 44. But even at this size it flatters, very beautiful silhouette !!! Worth the money (even if you as previously described it, should not contribute to -20 degrees) Definitely! Oh, and the shipping was super fast! Everything top!
