I'm 5'7 and a trim 165, with a 38 chest: would small or medium be best? I'm not looking for something to wear over a thick fleece, just a couple of merino base layers, and I don't want something too long.
How does the sizing compare to the Venta AR? (the medium in that would be ok but for the really huge sleeve in the bicep area).

I'm 5'9, 140lbs, and I find the Arc'teryx Medium size too big... I bought both a M and S and decided to keep the S. Still have plenty of room to add a mid+ baselayer.

Write your answer here... Im 5'7, 158-165lbs, 33-34" waist, and a 38-40" chest. I like my real "athletic" clothes to fit pretty snug - loose layers tend to "pump air" and dont work too well. According to the size charts, Im a MEDIUM, but I tend to buy Arcteryx in SMALL -- First Generation Alpha Comp -- 2007 Gamm AR vest -- 2004? Gamma Salopette
