Have a question on size... I'm 5'9" 165... I wear 16.5" / 32-33 dress shirts, and medium in pretty much everything. That said, looking at the above sizing chart, it's pointing pretty clearly to a Small. I plan on using a thin layer system underneath this jacket: good thermals, very thin half-zip fleecer, etc. However, I'm worried that even a few thin under-layers will be too tight underneath a Size Small. Can anyone similar size to me shed light on this?

I have the alpha sv, I know it's not the same jacket, but similar. If you'd like to layer and not have it be too tight, I'd suggest the medium. The sleeves are a better length for me with the medium. I'm also 5'9".------------------------I am 6'0, 140 lbs. and I wear the medium. It layers perfectly at that size.
