Hi, I'm considering a Sabre and would welcome some thoughts on sizing. I am 5ft 9", 38/39" chest and weigh 72Kg. (For info I already have a Beta AR in medium which fits "ok" (would have preferred a slightly closer fit like my old Rab Drillium) with room for a couple of layers easy. I'm guessing that a medium Sabre may be even baggier, if so should I go for a small? Thanks in advance.

This is not meant to fit close. This is Arcteryx most relaxed cut ever. It is new school gear for stylish people. You would be much better off with almost any other Arcteryx jacket because their standard fit is exactly what you are looking for. I am 5'10" 155lbs, and have a medium. It is the greatest jacket I have ever owned. I've had a few Arcteryx jackets, and used to always have to buy a large to get the fit I was looking for. Baggy, but not 17 year old long tee style baggy. Sleeve length is perfect for me, but I have long arms.

Yes, it is baggier than other Arcteryx jackets I tried. I am exactly your size and I ended up with a medium. While I could wear a small, I thought the arm movement was slightly restrictive. I love the jacket. I have used it in really stormy and windy days. One of my favorite things about it is the fantastic wind protection - it is amazing going up the lifts with the wind blasting on Mt. Hood. Also love that the hood is helmet compatible.

This is the loosest fit in the witeline series. It does fit a lot baggier than your Beta AR, it is also longer in the front and back. If you prefer a more slim fit than certainly go for the size small.
