    Always found that I need to take a size up with Castelli on account of it coming up smaller than the usual names. You can always return it if it doesn't fit?

    You mean the Mortirolo Due? I'm 5'9", 29/30 inch waist, 63kg and have had both M and S. Both sort of fitted, but the S was a better fit for me. You are probably a M, but if you are that weight & chest measurement at that height I'm guessing you are fairly skinny up top so might not get a really tight fit. But the S would probably be too small.

    Thanks for the help guys, I was reading on the Castelli website the sizing for the jacket, and I came in on a size Medium, but I have read reviews that people go up a size than normal on castelli stuff.

    It sort of depends on the item - different Castelli garments seem to have different sizings. The climber's jersey is very small for example, I'm a Medium in that and it's still a fairly slim fit, but I'm Small in the Mortirollo Due. Maybe they assume that with jackets you will be wearing stuff underneath and make an allowance.

    I'm a 32 waist, 38 chest and 80kg and my large Mortirolo fits perfect so medium should be fine for you.
