Giving this jacket a good hard look. I'm 5' 8" and 150-155lbs. Think a small will be about right?

I was in the same predicament. I am 5'8" 150lbs. I have athletic build from wrestling and playing endurance sports. I have a 38" chest and 30" waist. I got both the Med, and Small. The Medium was a bit baggy and little longer for me. The Small fit perfect. I am able to wear my Pantagonia thermal, REI Fleece, TAD Gear stealth hoodie, and even my First Ascent down sweater under the Theta AR. Great Jacket!!!!

I'm 5'11" 160lbs and med fits perfect. It's a little roomier in the chest and I can fit at least a fleece and a primaloft vest under. Neck is a little tighter.

I'm 160 and 5'7" and tried a medium and a small and I got the small. Layers well with the Hercules or Atom, and was even able to fit a Kappa SV underneath (albeit a bit stuffed). The medium was too large, even when layered with something like a Zeus. Hope that helps.

Go Small, it's built to accommodate the layers you'll need.

Probably would be good. If you're really big on layering, you might get away with a medium, although these run a bit big anyways for the layering purpose!
