I'm 5'9 163 and the large fits me well, I think a med would be a bit snug for you. also you might want to consider the parka version it makes a huge diff. in terms of warmth.(my brother has this version so I've used both)The hood adds a very little weight. Although I know some people don't like hoods. The accepted rule of thumb with MB is to size up.
