Overall fit
runs small
Parajumpers outerwear is widely described as cut on the small, slim Italian side, so the usual experience is that your normal size feels snug once a mid-layer goes underneath and one size up gives a more comfortable winter fit.
Tip: Most shoppers report going up one size, especially if you plan to layer a hoodie or knit underneath.

By category
| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hoodies & sweatshirts | slightly small | regular to slim, cut to layer under the down pieces rather than oversized | Consider your usual size if you like it close, or one up if you prefer a relaxed drape. |
| Jackets | runs small | slim, body-hugging down fit with a tapered waist on bombers like the Gobi and a straighter line on the Right Hand and Kodiak parkas | Take one size up from your usual outerwear size unless you want a deliberately close, unlayered fit. |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | slightly small | regular with a slightly trim European chest and sleeve | Sizing up one is a safe bet if you dislike a fitted tee. |
