The Gore sizing chart actually suggested a large but I went with medium and their stuff is still huge on me. The straps on the Ozon bibs are a good few inches longer than the Assos and the butt is baggy.
The Assos Airjack 851 is a superb fit - it hugs the body so there is no flapping in the wind and I can still wear a base layer under it. The Phantom in a medium size is like a tent. It is far too big. (how can it wick sweat if it's not touching the skin?)

I'm 5' 10"
156lbs
Chest 38-39 inches
Then buy small gore stuff! I'm lighter than you by a fair bit and taller and I find gore stuff isn't too baggy.
