I have a pair of the large per Grant's recommendation that you go up a size. Observations are that they come up to my chest, and are a bit baggy. I would go with M (I'm 5'11 160lbs) next time. These are warm - definitely too warm for Seattle winters of 40-50. They are great when it's in the 20s or lower. I'm a bit hot-blooded, however... Brian Seattle, WA
