I’m leaning towards buying a Sitka Jetstream Jacket but I’m a little unsure of what size to go with. All my other Sitka gear is in large and they fit well but I’ve read that the Jetstream Jacket fits snug. I plan to layer underneath this also.
I have a Jetstream vest in large and it’s snug but not bad. For those of you that have experience with the Jetstream Jacket, did you have to size up?
For reference, I’m 6’ 1” and 190 lbs.
 
I’d go XL…it’s their “performance fit”, so it’s definitely snug. I am 6’4 210#, so we probably have a pretty similar frame. I am all legs though. I had a large, fit but was very snug especially in the arms. Sold it and got an xl and love it.

You’ll probably find that the xl will be a bit baggy in the midsection, but I can layer a next to skin, core heavy, and active insulation under my JS comfortably with little to no tightness.

We are basically same size. Go XL. A L won't allow any room for layers other than a base layer

I have 2 jetstream jackets. I am 6' and 190 and the large works good for me. I could maybe see where if you put a thick insulation layer underneath it might be a bit tight though but I guess it depends on how thick it is. A long sleeved merino wool layer would works perfect for me.
 
I have the L and XL in the Jetstream. I would definitely recommend the XL if you're on the border between the two even the slight bit.
 
I am 6"2, 190 and wear a large. I like the fit with and without layers. I will use a base, vest, mid weight hoodie and puffy under the Jetstream if needed.

Sounds like others prefer the XL. Might be worth buying both and returning the one you like least. That will eliminate any doubt. Great jacket.
