I generally wear size Large, but it looks like a Medium might fit me better according to their size chart. If it helps, I am 5'11" tall with about a 40" chest and weigh about 170 lbs. For comparison, most Pearl Izumi clothes fit me a little loose in size Large.
If you have an REI near you, go try an Elite or transit. Just stopped by one today. They only had a transit. and the large fit me (5'11" 205 lbs) a little on the large size. Medium wa too small.
