I'm searching for a warm slim-fitting technical/athletic style jacket that I can wear around the city and also on hikes, etc. Preferably something with a waterproof/breathable shell and fleece or synthetic fibre filling -- and machine washable.
I've heard the following brands are slim/slim-ish:
Patagonia is the only brand I've found that actually shows which items are slim fit on their website -- http://www.patagonia.com/us/shop/mens-slim?k=1D-ey Today I tried on a Patagonia labelled "regular fit" (couldn't find a slim to try on in Oakville) and it was slimmer than other jackets like North Face. I also tried on an Arc'teryx that was somewhat slim-ish. I also heard that some snowboard coats are slim but in the stores I looked at this wasn't true.
Advice? I'm in the Toronto area.
