With regards to veilance sizing I own various bits and I have a mix of sizes. I have some large for layering under in the winter and some medium for wearing in the Spring/Summer. If you want a close fit I would recommend going a size down as I am a large in most things if you wish for a looser fit to layer under, for example you wish to wear the insulator under the field jacket, or you prefer a baggier fit I would say go for your regular size.

This makes sense, though the fit a size down will be very trim in the shoulders, arm holes and chest.

in warmer months wearing a size down is fine as the shell is only going to be worn with a shirt or tee and only used to keep the odd light shower off or/and a cool evening breeze.
think of it like wearing loose denims in the winter so you can wear a pair of long johns and a slim fit chino for the summer.

I agree with this. If going for an insulated piece I would go with a medium though. I have the isnulated shell in a medium and that fits me perfect. I also have the Sinter in a medium and again it is a perfect fit but there is no way that I could put more than a normal weight jumper and shirt underneath.

True, but I found a size down to be tight across the shoulders and through the chest. Great in the arms and total length, though. That's my issue concerning veilance when going tts; they're a bit billowy through the body, but since I enjoy my clothes a bit more relaxed, it's a preferred fit.
