Personally, I think if you intend to wear the hooded shak OVER another shak and maybe also a base layer, then get one size larger. If you wear the hooded shak just INSTEAD of another shak, then get the usual size.

Hey CC -
I got your PM. I'll try on the jacket again tonight and give my thoughts on sizing. I haven't put it on in months, so I don't remember how it runs. I'm pretty much a perfect M in Ibex stuff. This size gives me room to move a bit as I've got fairly big arms and broad shoulders. I do have a couple of things in small, but they tend to be a little tight in the upper arms. I'm not busty though, so I can't comment on that part of the fit. As far as biking clothing goes, I think it's generous compared to most other brands out there (and it doesn't shrink). In comparison to regular street clothing, I think the Ibex stuff is pretty true to size. Oh, except for arm length...they run a bit long. Great for those with longer arms, a bit annoying (but obviously liveable) for those of us with short appendages.
I'm sorry I didn't get a photo posted yet, but we do have internet at home now, so I'll do it tonight.![]()

Agreed! I'm often between M and L and I went with size M for the hooded shak. I really like the more sleek/snug fit of it. The Medium hooded shak is just slightly snugger than the Medium halfzip shak. The Medium full-zip shak is definitely bigger than both of those.
