Okay people. Here's the scoop! I just tried on this jacket. And I was in shock how much room was in it? If you are used to the gamma jacket get ready for a much different cut! I don't know about the large? But I am 6 ft. 190lbs. This jacket was huge in the bicep area? and in the chest. It then tapers down slightly and cuts off at the hips in the from. They normally have a more athletic cut? If you want a large normally? Get a medium. I'm 100% sure about this! Also. The fleece lining isn't thick.. Were talking very minimal. Very thin coat. (if you want a thicker little warmer coat try the Elipson) Great for fall night and sunny winter days in UT. Do not think this is a shell that will keep you warm 27 degree or less. It won't. You will need a layer. slightly disappointed! But even a bad coat from Arc Teryx is still nicer than the best jacket from Columbia)
mark my words. I know my sizing! And I know Arc Teryx.

I wear Medium in all Arc'Teryx, and the medium in the V SV fits me well... I wouldn't want it any smaller because as you said, its thin and most likely you'll need a decent fleece like a Delta Ar or Sv underneath this to stay warm, and you don't want to be constricted in this... so yeah, its great that its a tad roomy.. but this jacket still fits snug. (I;m 5'10", 165 lbs, athletic build)
