How does the Windwall vest fit? I am usually inbetween sizes, L and XL. An L just fits. I usually wear layers under a vest, ie, long sleeve shirt or sweatshirt, so should I go for an XL? I also heard that the material is a lint magnet. Is this true?

I'm not so sure about this being an athletic fit. I found it to be the boxiest fit of any vest I've ever owned. I bought the Large and was swimming in it. When I got the Medium, I was still swimming in it, but kept it anyway. I'm not really impressed with this vest and don't use it hardly at all. The Windwall fabric doesn't compress down well and it feels like cardboard--very stiff. There are better vests out there.

It has a bit of an athletic fit, and depending on the fabric,it may be lint prone.
