Hi, old question about size. I'm 125 lb, 5"6', with waist 27.5', chest 33'. Should I go with xs or small? I'm going to use it for climbing so I'd like a trim fit like other people said, but I wonder xs would be too small to fit some midlayer or a thin down sweater? Thank you for your time.

If you're thinking of using a midlayer, I would definitely go with the small. With the extra small you're probably going to run into some issues with your movements being restricted.

Thanks Ryan, I would try both sm and xs when they're restocked. I hope the xs can fit a Patagonia R3 or at least a R2.

Probably the small would be best if you're using a midlayer.
