Im 5-10 195-200lbs(not fat tho, makes a difference in the gut area) and my A-stars jacket is a large. You want them to be pretty snug, cuz if you ride for a while, and they are lose, they will flap, and leave your nips chaffed....which is no good lol.

I agree, you don't want your jacket to be loose. You need the padding to stay where they are meant to be. I'm 5'8 170 and a Icon medium fits just right. I normally wear Large clothing just to be comfortable.

you do need your jacket to fit kinda snug. i wear ICON as well. their good jackets. i've taken a fall on my and you can't even tell i did. but then again the fall wasn't too bad. the ICON Timax is the jacket i wear. it runs about 170.00 to 200.00 bucks. it also a good fair weather jacket.

I think you'll need to go try some on to get the right sizing. Unless you guys have it easier than I did! You need to take into consideration what you will need to wear under the jacket. My jacket is awesome! It has a zip out liner, which I haven't had in it yet this year. All I wear under mine is either a tank top or t-shirt. But I'm sure that will change once fall gets here.

Also I found that the leather jackets fit different than the ballistic nylon/textile jackets. You want it to be snug. Good luck!
