I've heard that the fit is very small with this jacket. I am 6' 205 ish and according to the chart A L should suffice. Is there room for layering?

My opinion- If you want to layer for colder activities, definitely go for the XL. I'm 6'2 and 195 and the L size fits me snug with only one or two mid-weight layers underneath. I use this shell for my milder-temp activities in spring or fall, or for heavy exercise days due to it's amazing breathability- and it JUST fits me with midweight fleece on. With thicker fleece for winter stuff underneath, the L size is too small. I love this shell, though.
