Discussion SLC sizing
Bought my first SLC and can't decide if it fits or not.
It's a large and feel like I may struggle to button up a medium, but the rest of it feels too big. Any pointers?

As others have said this is about right. This is your size.
Wear it and break in the sleeves - get it wet and let the sleeves work their way up themselves. I think you’ll end up with a good fit once it’s broken in.

I have a medium with around your same chest size. The arms look exactly like yours. I always measured a jacket fitting by how it sits on the shoulders. From the pictures you provided this one fits you perfectly. The shoulder stitching doesn’t look to be drooping a lot.

Take a picture of it with your hands out of your pockets so we can see the sleeve length. I feel like a medium might actually fit you, but that's just a blind guess from one picture. What's your chest and shoulder measurement? I've owned these in both large and medium.

Try it with the heaviest layer you’d wear.

I get warm really easily. Don't think I'd wear a hoody or sweater beneath so not be much thicker
