I'm undecided as to the correct size to order. I've tried on MH softshells and to me they appear to run small for the size. I'm 5'10" 200#'s athletic build with broad shoulders and larger chest and arms. I'm thinking XL, but I don't want to look like the michelin man in this. I would like to be able to wear a thin(100 wt) performance fleece underneath without the jacket being overly restrictive. I wear predominately size Large shirts. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Jesse, Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for. Alot of these cuts are athletic, but not quite enough with an enhanced upper body.

I'm 5'7", 160 lbs. but I lift so I have a large chest and lats making it really hard for me to fit stuff right cuz I have a short torso. I got a large and it fits me great. So for you, I'd definitely get an XL. The large doesn't look big on me, but I still have plenty of room underneath to layer. It's by no means tight. Also, I have the hooded version of this jacket--but that shouldn't change anything since these are almost identical (hood and the fact that the hooded version has a zipper storm flap).
