I'm hoping to pick up a quality mid-layer hoody or softshell jacket and every piece I've tried on is super tight in the armpits. I've tried multiple pieces each from Pnuma, KUIU, and Sitka, and they are all so tight in the armpits that I'm certain I'll either end up with major chafing or numb arms.
I'm 5'6" and 155lbs. The mediums all fit perfectly, with room to layer even, except the armpits.
Does anyone have any insights into why this is so? Am I just oddly proportioned? Or is this by design - the "shooter's cut" that I hear about from some purveyors? Or are other manufacturers' fits more, I don't know, normal?
