Those of you who own Pro Team Jackets - what's your sizing like?
I've just picked up one from the sale and can fit into both M and L. I'm 5ft11 / 75kg / 32" waist / 39 chest. I'm wear M bibs, and M regular Rapha jersey and Large Sportful/Castelli.
Medium is definitely a closer fit - lots of room across the neck and the arms are perfect length and fit. Tighter across the chest, though I can easily fit 2 x base layers or a base layer & short sleeved jersey under it. Feels more like a jersey.
Large is looser all round. Across the chest its not particularly tight - It feels more like a jacket.
I know these are meant to be close fitting, but wondered how the rest of you guys are wearing yours before I keep or return.

I have about 10kg on you and 2 inches in the chest. With a base layer on the large is fitted.
In my view medium sounds right for you. I was surprised how real world these jackets sized up.My blog: http://www.roubaixcycling.cc (kit reviews and other musings)

If you got it in orange then I think large is the best fit for you. PM me and I will take the medium off your hands. If it is in a different colour then you are a medium and send the other one back.0

I have both the black and the orange and they're exactly the same size.0 -
My older Chartreuse is a much slimmer fitting than my new blue version, and the material is different.I'm sorry you don't believe in miracles0
