I bought this jacket in a large size and it fits without the flexibility of layering. So it can only be a wind breaker or rain jacket. I looked at the XL sizes and I am afraid if I go up a size it will become a winter only jacket by being too loose when wearing as a shell. I am 6', 190 lbs and a 43-44 inch chest. Has anyone else been between sizes?

i say go up because 3 out of 4 seasons youll probably want to throw a sweatshirt or some kinda of layer underneath this, and if your spending 340 on a jacket then you better be able to wear it skiing!!!! (or just in winter) :-)...i dont think this is worth it to be a windbreaker
