The chart is a guide only. If you fall in-between sizes, the right size for you will depend on your body shape, height and how loose or tight you like to wear your clothes. Measurements refer to your body not the garment. Jackets and baggies are sized to fit over under-layers - so you should be the same size in both. It's no hassle to swap an item, if your first choice is not the best fit.

Thanks For Your Review
We value your feedback. If you're stoked with your Ground Effect kit then you might like to share it (the review not the gear) with your mates. Thanks again.
Replacing my old trusty Agent Orange Draft Dodger after the zip finally gave out. Still the same great winter jacket. It is a shame that you can't get orange any more for commuters. But Marine Blue is a cool colour and the new fabric is slightly warmer I think.
This I the third Draft Dodger I've bought, they're great. They're perfect for off road riding in winter. No idea how many years ago it is since I bought the first one (photographs say 10+ years) but the zip finally broke. If we weren't on a Covid lockdown I'd get the zip fixed as the rest of it's still fine. My only tip to anyone buying them is buy a loud colour. My second's a cool grey colour but not great for being seen on roads in winter.
I live in Japan. This Draft Dodger replaced my old one. I went for the same jacket because I loved my old one so much. The first one is still going strong, but as I need it for mountain biking as well as commuting, I felt I needed two. The Draft Dodger sees me nicely through my early morning, 6km, winter commute in temperatures averaging 0 degrees, sometimes with rain and occasionally with light snow, in which it performs very well. I wear it over an undershirt, collared shirt and a thin sweater. The ventilation at sleeves and front are perfect for temperature control once the body has warmed up some. It's also a top performer on the trail, with the high collar and good length at the arms and body to stop cold drafts from seeping in. However, I do have a few nitpicks. Firstly, the loss of the old design's hood and back pocket with hi-vis flap equates to slightly less jacket for roughly the same price. Also, no extended tabs on the pocket zippers makes them a little difficult to find, especially with gloves. Finally, the sleeve vents are all but impossible to open or close one handed. Even using both hands, you have to position the fabric just right to get enough tension for the zipper to work. Overall, I recommend this jacket for all winter (and chiily spring and autumn) riding.
I have been using my frosty boy on cold days for a few years. I thought the draft dodger would also be great. It is. I am really pleased with the light weight, being warm on cold days and comfort. Full length zip is a winner. Beautiful fabrics and design. Decent length sleeves. Perfect fit. My wife reckons I look sexy in it. Cheers and too many beers, Clayton
Shouldn’t come as a surprise with GE gear, but the Draft Dodger exceeded my expectations. Really warm, perfect fit, looks great and, as always, great service. Thanks guys.
