I was excited about this product and brand (with their only US office being in my hometown of Bozeman, MT). I've never seen such a thin rain-jacket, which was exactly what I was hoping for. Their sizing is definitely closer to the the Asian-market where the company's HQ is based. I'm normally a size large in US sizing for Patagonia or North face, but go up a size for European brands. I ordered an XL to be safe here, but even that was far to small. I'm not sure that even a 2XL would have given me sufficient range of motion for any strenuous activity. Perhaps ok in a pinch (like sitting in a rainy stadium) -- but this isn't the price-point for something I'd pay for that very limited use-case. As a reference point, I'm 5' 10", and 190lbs.
