I was wondering if anyone knows if I could fit in the medium? I'm looking for mostly a 3 season shell for backpacking that I could put maybe a fleece at most under, so close fit. I'm 6' and around 185. I kind of have monkey arms so sleeve length might be a problem. Any help is appreciated guys!

I am 6'1" 155lbs and after really studying the size chart went with an XL (it felt strange to do this but it was the right decision) and when I received it I was extremely pleased with the fit. The cut is perfect and when I have a base and mid layer underneath it fits great! The sleeves are a little long on their own, but when I'm out mountaineering and tighten the velcro around my gloves it doesn't get in the way at all. The added length actually adds to my maneuverability. You don't want something really tight, either ... trapping a bit of warm air works as a great insulator. However a L may still be a good choice. I recently climbed Mt. Hood in a 3 hour sustained windchill of -8F to -15F until I reached the protection of the Steel Cliffs and remained warm the whole time.

That's what I figured, especially since I've heard Norrona runs on the smaller side. Thanks a lot.

I would go with a large!

I would probably go with a large, especially if you have long arms and want to be able to layer. I think a medium would be all around too small.
