If you're set on this jacket, I'd recommend sizing up to the XL. The sleeves on the large would be a little short on you. The Shift Element is perfect for wearing around town, doing chores, lounging in camp, etc... If you're looking to be more active in this jacket, and want a killer softshell - I'd recommend the Backcountry.com Shift Welder Hoody. The Welder is a hooded version with lighter-weight Polartec Power Shield, longer sleeves, and fully-welded construction. As far as Welder sizing goes, the L should fit, but if you want a layer or two underneath for cold conditions - you'd be better served by the XL.
