Hi, I', 5'8 and 152 lbs in chest size 38", what size should I get?
I prefer a trim fit, M will look too baggy on me?

I don't agree. I am 5'7 155 lbs, chest 38-39", and the small is a perfect fit. It is cut so well it can easily fit a baselayer and 100-weight fleece underneath yet is also trim fitting with just a t-shirt. The Gamma is best with 1-2 baselayers then as a mid layer under a shell if things get extreme. I think a medium would be big -- recommend going with a small.

For a trim fit, the small will give you the best fit. I wear a medium at 5'11 170. I typically wear just a baselayer or a very thin insulator (Atom LT) at most. If you want to layer under this, espcially if you use fleece, the medium would accoomodate this better.

A small will not work, I've got a buddy is about your size and wears a medium.
