I am 5'10" and currently 200lbs ( was 245lbs) so I still have a belly.

My chest size is 44in. I have a large arc'teryx fleece and the chest size is snug but my belly sticks out a bit.

I am hearing that the jacket has room for layering but I am still thinking I may need an XL Jacket if a Large Fleece is a snug fit.

Let me know if I should get a Large or XL.

Chris, you're only going to need a Large. This jacket doesn't fit snug, this year it is running bigger to accommodate for layers which in most cases people are actually sizing down. With a 44" chest you should be fine with the Large and still have ample room for layering.

Definitely go for an XL Chris, this jacket has a snug profile, and it'll be a much more functional item if you have a little room to add your layering. This is the best jacket i have ever owned, and with the proper care and maintenance, it will last you for yearsand it will still have the same waterproof properties in 3 years as the day you bought it!
