Hi gurus! I'm 5'9'' and 190 pound 42 chest 36 waist.What size should i get? I'm planning on getting this one after having the EB,EB doesn't use a draw cord on the hem and that is not good if your trying to seal it tight,heavy drafts are not good at all....

Almost perfect...imho

Arc'teryx Atom LT Insulated Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 December 3, 2011

Almost perfect midlayer and stand alone,i'd say that cause i would like to have hem cord to seal it even better.Anyhow,the fit is great,i'm 5'9'' 190 pounds and the large fit perfect with a slight trim fit,it's super lightweight, i mean,seems you're not wearing anything,blocks slight winds pretty decently,temp range i have tested in the mid 40's and feels pretty good with just a t shirt underneath.The side material feels nice with great movement.Ah! just for you to know,the inside is red not purple (7/11 season)

Hey guys! Update,i just contacted NF about it,their reply:
Hello,

Thank you for contacting The North Face regarding your Men's Conversion Jacket in black. I did further research and discovered that the Windstopper logo on the lower left sleeve of this jacket is supposed to be in red. The picture is being changed on our website. If you do choose to reorder this jacket, the logo will be in red.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Thank you,
