Just got mine delivered today. They run big. I am generally a Large size in most shirts(except FJ). I am 5'10" 190 lbs. I need a Medium in these. Was swimming in the Large size.

Mine should arrived tomorrow. I am worried as I ordered large also (5'11" 220lbs), but am afraid these sweaters may be too large.

Does 3balls have a good exchange policy?
[/quote]Yes they do. I received mine at 12:10pm via USPS and sent them back free via Fedex Ground at 16:00pm. You need to email 3balls and let them know you need a FX Ground return deal. I went to a local business park and saw a Fedex Ground truck and gave the box to the driver. Otherwise, you can search for a drop box or svc ctr near you. They will send you an email with Fedex return papers to attach to the box. They are a very good retailer.

Return Policy is surprisingly pretty decent:

They also have a great deal on the FJ M Project spikeless shoes. Picked up a pair for $80.00 all in. These run 1/2 size smaller than your regular shoe size. They also are narrow so I went with a 9 W when I normally wear a 9.5 M(or trending towards wide) in most other shoes(like Trues).

Are there any other coupons available? Google hasn't been kind in giving me a working code

[gr8blueheronbird]

Just used "promo4u" and it saved me 10% on the purchase.

FYI - They disabled the coupon for the Windlite sweater.

[gr8blueheronbird]

I am sure you can find some additional savings. Just google the 3balls coupon codes,

Am traveling right now and will be back in the country tomorrow but I have 5 brand new Mizuno Windlite sweaters in different colors that I'll sell for $40/sweater delivered. If you are interested, shoot me a PM and I'll send pics when I get back.

[JDFish]

Got mine today. The medium fits perfectly (I'm 5'10" 160 lbs) - should be good to go with a base layer and golf shirt underneath. Looking forward to trying one of them out this weekend.

[drpino]

Received mine today as well and although they are a touch bigger than previous iterations of the Windlite sweater, I find them fine in size. If I were to drop down to a size small, I would likely feel constricted during the swing.

If you don't mind me asking, how tall are you drpino? I have the previous Windlite sweater in size medium. I'm 5'8'' and about 155lbs. Thinking about going with a small.

[jptruck]

You guys talked me into this. $67 for a good winter golf sweater? No brainer. I ordered a large. I'm 6.4, but usually wear size large shirts. I'll report on the fit.

5'8" ~145-150lbs. As I mentioned, I also wear the medium in a version of the sweater probably 2 or 3 generations old and they fit well but I found they tend to ride up and bunch in the small of my back when I'm carrying on the course. The sleeves on these are a bit longer and it does hang a little lower at the waist.

Honestly, I could probably go with either small or medium. Small would fit much more like an athletic/Euro style and the medium would leave a bit more room for layers and freedom of movement. By no means do I feel like I'm "swimming" in these.

[kevch25]

Thanks for the info drpino!

I tried the coupons mentioned in the thread without success. It looks like 3balls disabled the codes to work in conjunction with the Mizuno Windlite promotion. I was able to use these two today:

"justbecause" - this is $5 off for signing up for the mailing list
"10off2day" - $10 off the order that will work with the promotion.

I hope this helps someone else looking to get these great sweaters! It brings the price down to $97.42 Still not quite as low as others were able to snag it for, but I love the Mizuno sweaters I have already!

Received my windlites today from 3 balls. Im 6'2 180 and the large fits great. I wear medium in the FJ equivalent sweater.

[CVA19]

Just to add to the sizing conversation, I ordered an XL and felt it was right on the mark. I'm 6'4 200 lbs.

[njlam]

I just got mine and it fits, but is a little roomy. I bought a large.

I am 5'11" and about 220lbs. While the large is a little roomy, I am concerned that a medium would be too tight.

So my question to those who have owned this sweater before, is it more likely to shrink or stretch over time?

If it is likely to shrink, I may keep the large, if it is likely to stretch, I may exchange for the medium.

Help! It is a really nice sweater...

[Clambake]

I received the two I ordered today - what a deal at $87 for the pair! I'll echo on how the sizing seems to run true. I'm also 6'2" and about 175lbs, and the large is perfect - just roomy enough to have full freedom of movement, but fitted enough where it doesn't look or feel bulky at all. And I can tell it is really going to be delightfully warm!

[/quote]I am 5' 10" and 190 lbs and was swimming in the Large. I sent mine right back for 2 mediums. Not sure that it will shrink as it says to line dry. The sleeves were really long for me and the bottom of the sweater was really long.

Let me know if the mediums work for you. The sleeves and overall length on the large are slightly long for me, however perfect as cold weather golf garment.

I am just concerned what is roomy now becomes baggy in the future.

[/quote]I will let you know but it may not be until next week as they will send the M's on Monday when they receive my returns. Used to live near you(Sherwood,OR) and this could be a great sweater for golf in Portland for Nov thru March. I bet you probably have some great rain gear to go on top of the sweater.

This is a perfect mid layer for the rainy season in Oregon. As I am sure you know, we put our golf foul weather gear to the test here in the Pacific NW. It is important to know what works and what doesn't.

Combined with a Columbia Omni-Heat base layer and/or Zero Restriction Gore-Tex rainsuit, I expect the Mizuno sweater to get a lot of use this winter.

Heading to Bandon in two weeks and will play the Preserve (2x), Old Mac, Bandon, and Pacific. Hope to wear a well fitting Mizuno windsweater (navy or white) for all rounds.

[slookx24]

I want to get a white one in Large, but don't need 2. Anyone wanna go half-half on this?

[ferreta]

I got my two large sweaters yesterday and I was swimming in them as well so I'm going to get the mediums too. 5'11" 197. Too long at the bottom. Too wide in the shoulders and too long in the sleeves. I think I usually wear a 42R jacket.

[deadsolid...shank]

I'm surprised at the sizes some people are wearing. I've got a Windlight Jacket (best I've ever owned by the way) in XL and it feels snug to me. I can't imagine going any smaller. About 5'8" and 195lbs. Just really suprises me when I read threads about sizing. I absolutely detest anything tight though so maybe its just me.

Anyway, for those that have both, how do these compare with the Windlight Jacket. Do you like on or the other better?

Also, no,luck getting either the 10off or promo4u codes to work.

[njlam]

Just more sizing data points.

I am 5'11" 220 and wear size a 44L suit.

The large is perfect in the sleeve, okay in the shoulder, a little too long, and a little roomy in the waist/midsection.

As the knit portion of the sweater is cotton, I hope/feel over time, there will be some level of shrinkage.

I think the medium may be a little tight, as the large is a little roomy. If there is shrinkage, I should keep the large.

Given the price, I may buy a medium just to try....my 17 year old son may get an early Christmas present!

[Unteachable]

FYI, these are 39.95 on Edwin watts website. They only have 3 colors but seem to have plenty of sizes for now. I am 6 feet 200 and ordered an XL. hope it fits good because i have a feeling they will sell out after everyone here sees this deal.

[mjwidell]

Thanks DBU-LSU! Since I only needed one, I picked one up from Edwin Watts. Also used the coupon code, FB201206, for an additional $5 off which basically covered shipping. I'm excited to finally own the sweater/fleece/jacket I've read so much about over the years!
