It is very strange that everyone has been complaining about the sizing of this Veil wind shell. When this drop was still open, there were numerous discussions about its similarity to the original Patagonia Houdini in breathability and weight. I immediately presumed that the fitting will also be similar.
A few weeks before I took delivery, I went to a brick-and-mortar to test-fit some gear in anticipation of purchasing my first selection of backpacking gear by this autumn; the medium Houdini fitted well. Having taken delivery of the Veil more recently, I can confirm that the Veil's sizing is extremely similar to the Houdini.
