Size it up for BC skiing

Just echoing the sizing comments.
The cut is pretty similar to Mountain Hardwear softshells (think Synchro). It fits fine if all you'll ever have underneath is a heavy shirt, but if you want to consider a liner of any sort size it up. The other thing is that with a beacon and other crap in my pockets I couldn't even think about staying at my normal size.
5'8" 135 lbs 36" chest and the small was a tad too small. Medium was much more like a small in other company's shell sizes, and enough room for my beacon harness, some crap in my pockets, and an insulation layer.
Haven't taken it out yet. Material feels nice - very similar to Patagonia Primo Flash shell, but this one has pit vents which the Primo does not.
