Another size question: I'm 6' 175lbs with an athletic build (31 waist but I wear a 42-43 suit jacket). Should I go medium or large if I plan on using this for skiing and may need to layer a mid weight fleece or Patagonia ultralight down underneath. I don't want a baggy fit but I don't want to be constricted in the shoulders or pits either. Thanks.

Most of their stuff does runs shorts for the size. I really figured the hardshells wouldn't, considering it is your outer layer and should be larger then the other garments they sell. Sherpa could really benefit from adding tall sizes.

So I ended up ordering both. The M was fine at the shoulders and chest with just a light or mid baselayer and a little tight with a thicker layer. The arm and body length, however, are fairly short on this jacket. I have normal length arms and torso for my size, and the length of the arms and the body on the L are just barely adequate and definitely not ideal - another inch or more on both would be perfect - and unworkable on the M.

I have 3 Sherpa jackets, none that are harshell though, and I have to wear an XXL with a 46-48 chest. I am 6'5 250lbs with broad shoulders and an athletic build. The XXLs fit me very well. A little tight in the shoulders, but the rest is spot on, and I like a fitted look. In your case, if you have broad shoulders, I would go with the Large.
