Which size to get?

I'm 510 180 with a chest size 42. sleeve and waist size matches meduim but chest size is in between meduim and large. Which size should i go for large or medium?

Update.
I ended up going with Large. It was a little loose and the arms a little long. The hood was bothersome too. I can see this working if I wanted to work a lot of layers underneath but I just wasn't feeling it.

So I ordered a Medium. Its a much better fit. I can still layer a little underneath but I don't plan on doing a midlayer underneath just a good base layer. This after all will be my baselayer for my shell on cold boarding days :) The only thing I don't like as much is the length was better on the large.

Thanks for the answers' guys I just wanted to update this so everyone else could benefit if possible.
As Dave mentioned below your millage may vary depending on your use for this jacket.

I must be the only one here who says large. I am the same height and 165 (40" chest) with an athletic build and I am in between sizes. The medium feels tight around my chest and lats. I prefer the fit of the large to the medium (I wear a medium in pretty much everything else). Hope this helps

You'll be fine in the medium if you don't try to layer much under it. Otherwise, get the large and expect it to have some extra room.
