I'm 6'1" and 175 lbs. I can't decide if I should go with a Medium or Large. I want to layer underneath it with a fleece or down jacket. I typically wear a medium when I'm not layering. However, I'm concerned a large might be too big. Does anyone have recommendations about what size to get?

I, too am exactly your size (6'1" / 175, broad shoulders and long arms, normal length torso). I have the Beta AR in large and it fits on the large side (but that's a GOOD thing with this jacket, because it's designed to be layered under. My "storm shelter" layering is a wool base layer, an Atom LT, and the Beta AR. No weather out here in the southwest can get through that, but if it ever did, I'd still have room for a fleece or softshell jacket, so bring it on!

I am exactly your size and wear a Large in Arcteryx jackets. I typically wear a turtleneck and fleece, and it fits well. If by down jacket, you mean a "puffy" coat - not enough room - but something like the Atom or thinner down shells would work.
