I was at Holeshot last weekend and think I was fitted improperly by a new girl, she tried telling me I'm a 46.
What are you guys wearing for a size.

I'm the same size as you and have fitted in jackets from 38 to 42. Sizing can vary even for different jackets in the same brand. Generally though fit your chest and make sure the jacket works on you in the position you'll be in on the bike. Also make sure to look at the type of riding you'll be doing (in what weather)
ex: I get hot easily and like fully perforated jackets (front, back and arms), when it gets a bit cooler you can just wear a wind proof layer under it.
RS-Taichi GMX Motion and 826 are good examples
