I'm 5'6 140lb, small or medium? Looking for a running shirt for fall/winter runs, how well does this perform. Trying to run in 40 degrees (possibly colder) w/o using a bulky jacket (too much weight). How warm will this keep me, how well does it breathe and regulate temperature? Are there other shirts that perform as well (or better) but possibly cheaper?

I'm 5'11" 175 lbs and a med fits snug but I can still fit a lightweight layer underneath (such as a silk weight or an IB 150). Unless you want is loose and hanging, I'd suggest a small for you. It regulates temp great. I think it would be perfect alone in 40 degrees - if you are a person who gets cold easily you can put a thin layer underneath - if you overheat easily this will breath well. The next best thing I have to this is a midweight Duofold - not as good at warmth but cheaper and you can throw the duofold in the dryer and never worry about it.
