Kinda hate to bump an old thread, but just to follow up, I ended up passing on the sale, then buying a new large softshell off ebay.
It ended up not fitting. It was a little too tight under the arms for me - not large enough across the back. I should have paid attention to their site. They say a Large is 38-42" an an XL is 42-46". That seems close. I'd call the jacket about a 41-42.
Had it fit, I wouldn't have regretted the money I spent (225ish) on it. There are tons of nice features. I wouldn't pay full retail though. I would, however, pay full retail if it were a light color.
