I just tried one of these from Steepandcheap, but sent it back due to fit issues. I'm 6'0". 175lb with long arms and am in reasonably good shape. I like my gear to fit somewhat trim so there are no drafty waist and arm issues. I ordered a large and found the current build of this jacket to be too big around the belly (not athletic fit) for me. I didn't like the flared sleeves with no velcro adjustment nor elastic, either. A more tailored body and better sleeve cuffs would make this a great jacket. If you have some girth or want the option of layering a lot, and wear gauntlet-style gloves with it, then it would be fine.

You may want to try a Medium. I'm 6 ft 180 with a 34~35in sleeve length and I always wear Medium in Arcteryx. Their sleeves are cut a little longer than most manufacturers, and a medium in the body would be the right fit for your build.
