I'm 5'9" 175 athletically built. Bought a Backcountry.com Wool Hoddy in a medium and could barely zip it up, super-tight all the way around. Does the Shift Welder fit similiarly ?? Should I go with a Large ??

Depends on the type of fit you're looking for. I'm 5' 10" 175# and I wear a Large. The sleeves run an 2.5" past my wrists and the length is 5" past my hips, even a little more in the back with the drop tail. There is room for a base and mid layer underneath.. I tried a Medium but it only had room for a baselayer under it. The sleeve and hem length was more to my liking but it was too snug on my hips so I went with the large.

I would go with a large. I am 5'7'' with a normal build and decided to try a S, and couldn't even zip it up. If the L does not work out you can always return it without hassle.
