I bought the Motto in small and it was a little snug, too snug for adequate layering. I am 5'8" and a stocky 165 and the medium gives me enough room to layer, although since I'm short the tail and sleeves are too long, but I've had to live with that my whole life. In high alpine ski situations (I live in Germany and regularly ski the Alps) a mid fleece layer is a must. Great jacket.

Johnson, A little extra room in a shell is generally a good thing, as it allows you to layer up on cold days and open up on warm days. If you still would like a closer fit, other reviewers have stated that this jacket is looser around the middle as far as mediums go, so you may experience the same problem. Some brands offer more "athletic" fits, such as Arc'teryx, and may fit closer to your specification. Happy trails!
