I'm 5'9" 180 with 33" arms & wear a 42 coat should I go med or large in the stingray? I've read it's pretty wide & don't want to be swimming in it but would also like to layer with a technical base & fleece.

I've been wearing a Medium in the Arc'teryx Stingray, and I'm 5'11, 175. Enough room for a couple layers (as long as they're not floppy fitting) but not too big when I wear just a baselayer. I'd suggest a medium for you as well. In my opinion, the ideal layer for this jacket is the Arc'teryx Tau pullover.

I haven't seen this jacket specifically, but based on other Arcteryx jackets that I have seen, you are going to be a tough fit. I'm 5'10 with and wear 34/35 inch dress shirts and have a 40.5" shirt. Medium Arcteryx ski shells fit me perfectly with room for an insulating layer. Stating the obvious, by chest measurement you want the Large and by arm length, probably no more than the medium. The ski shells do have a more relaxed cut, so a medium might work for you - obviously you are cutting into the room you have for layering though. I owned a size large shell at one time and I personally didn't like how baggy it was - these jackets are way too expensive for them not to fit right. Something you might consider is looking at the Stinger jacket, which has a very roomy cut. I'm pretty sure a size medium would fit you well. It definitely is different than the Stingray though.. Best advice: take advantage of the awesome return policy that backcountry.com has and get both sizes. $5.99 is a cheap price to pay for returning one (or both if neither work) to get the right size.
