This shell is great, it has some nice features like how the velcro can hold/cover the hood, water bottle holder inside the jacket, good size pockets. Nice and lightweight yet its pretty warm for what it is, and you can layer up nicely underneathe.
I am 5'10" 183 lbs and I got a medium, couldn't be happier and i'm glad I read these reviews cause I would've tried a large to start off with. The Peat Moss green is a very nice color on this one.

Update: I'm now 167 lbs, and the medium still fits me well. I have been skiing with this jacket all season, some temps dipping down into single digits, and I generally wear two baselayers and a fleece under this jacket and i'm good to go. The only things I dislike are how high the front pockets are, sometimes when I need to grab something I find myself fiddling with the location of the pockets until I actually look down at them to see what I'm doing. The powder skirt is great, but if they had internal buttons to secure it to while not in use - that would be a plus. And sometimes the zippers get stuck/caught on the jacket's material, especially the pit-zips. So now i'm more careful with the zippers.
