Hey I'm 5'8 130# and growing should I go with a medium or small? Basically do these run larger like tnf denali or are they on the small side?

I'm 5'9", 165 lbs and the medium was a perfect fit. But these jackets definitely don't run roomy like TNF Denali. If you want lots of room, get a medium. If you want this jacket to be fitted the way I think it's intended to be, you'll probably be better off in a small.

I would definitely say go small on this. I'm a good 20 pounds heavier and wear a medium nicely. I can't say how they compare to the Denali though.
