With 42 chest, 38 waist plus thermals and maybe fleece under, do you suggest Large or XL? Need to move easily while backpacking.

I'm 48,38 and can do a base layer and a thin fleece but not much more with an xl.

Well, this is just a guess but I would say XL sounds better for you. You need to try it on before buying it!

I am 46" chest and use an XL. It will be a snug fit over a winter jacket but it will work OK.

I'm a male, 5'-9" with 40-inch chest, 30-inch waist (175cm tall, 101cm chest, 76cm waist). The small just fits OK with a thin shirt, but not with a sweater or parka.

I am a 54 regular in a jacket size and I fit comfortably in the XL, however I do not wear on the outside of my regular hunting clothes. Depending on the region your hunting in really dictates where your comfort level will be. I wear a long sleeve tee and thermal bottoms under my HECS to help wick perspiration in warmer weather. Beyond that you can layer as the weather in your region dictates. Happy Hunting.

Hen, you probably want it a little large to go over other wear. I'm 66" and stocky and an XL works great for me. Nice and loose but not too loose. My chest is about 44" so I'd say probably Med or large depending on how loose you want. I don't find mine too long even tho I'm short. U may find a large a little long. So, there you have it. Good Luck. Looser is probably better, my wife's wisdom. My wife who is 5'11" and bigger around than you wear's a men's medium (usually), so looser would be a large, but length. . .?

I would recommend a large based on how the size I bought ran. Hope this helps.

I would think a medium but honestly you'd be better off going to a store and trying one on for size. There can be so many variables involved in fitting a pack its vital you get the correct fit otherwise you could end up disappointed. These are good packs, good enough to try on first before purchase, good luck.

I'm 6' 230 lb and the 2XL fits me just right. So I would say an XL. I wear XL shirts but had to go 1 size up for the jacket. So whatever size shirt you wear I would say go one up. Regular shirt size, not muscle shirt size lol.

I would go with the XL.with your size,it should fit fine over a full body armor. Just my opinion... The jacket itself has good protection. Good luck and happy riding. Burn rubber not your soul!

My waist is larger, I bought large when I should gotten XL. Sounds like you could use Medium.

Well I can fit my regular cold weather sleeping bag in the medium, so I believe the x-large should easily fit your sleeping bag. With the compression aspect you can shrink your storage and make a lot more room in your hiking back pack. It's really awesome!

I'm 6'0" 180 lbs. I bought Large. It fit very well in length. The waist is generous. I have a 40" chest and a 34" waist. There is plenty of room in the waist and chest for me to fit comfortably. If your waist is 38" or bigger, I might go with an XL. (Although the length will be significant)

You should go with size XL. But I recommend an "Under Armour Men's Heatgear Sleeveless Tee". It is the new version of this sleeveless. It has mesh panels under the Armpits and is very comfortable to wear. It's made of 84% Polyester and 16% Elastan. Thumbs-up! Tristran.

I'm 6'0, 185 and like my clothing fitted. I find the large to be bulky. I can fit a base layer, shirt, and down jacket underneath with a little too much room.

I am 42" chest, and have a large. That works great over 2-3 layers. If you need to wear it in real cold weather, over thick layers, you might want to go up to XL

jguitar answer sounds about right. As a comparison, the Oneill larges fit tight like a wetsuit (correctly) on guys with larger measurements, ie 46-48 jacket (chest) size. I was going to say a medium would be the largest you would go with a 36" chest, but for a snugger fit a small sounds good.

If your chest measurement is no more than 42, size large will easily be sufficient. You need to get t to fit tight enough to do the most good. As to your height, the large will be plenty long. These things run long. I'm shorter than you are and mine is almost too long. Good luck. Hope this helps Remember to wash it in cold water and hang up to dry.
