I am wondering if I should look at size S or size M. I am 5'6", 155lbs. I looked at the Arcteryx sizing chart and it's kind of mixed...my chest fits the "small" category, but my waist and hip is closer to the "medium" category. Any opinions? Thanks!

Probably a small depending on your build.

As with most jackets, it depends on what you want to put under it, but I'd probably recommend the small for you. I'm 6'4 180 and wear a large in this jacket and its pretty big on me with plenty of room for a fair amount of layering. These jackets tend to be a bit larger anyways (I believe its for the whole layering thing) so I'd say you should do fine in a small. If you're not wanting something to be trimmer fitting, then the medium wouldn't be bad. Can always exchange it too - and you should for 500 bucks!
