Better a little baggy than too tight:

1. You don't want your movement restricted
2. You might find it a little warmer as the lining won't be crushed thereby losing some of the insulating properties
3. You'll be less likely to feel rain and hail smashing against you; the feel-good factor

Just my view

[Law]

If you didn't try a back protector with the jacket, you could probably fit one in comfortably now.

[hovis]

too late, ive just taken the xxl back & swoped it 4 a xl

[Ed]

are you a fat ******* then?

[Jabba]

Huh.
I sort of think exactly the oposite... for much the same reasons.
I like it more or less tight over my shoulders when I am on the bike reaching. I dont move my arms about a huge amount on the bike in reality.
I find the less air you have washing about the better. (In really cold weather I want almost no 'open' air spaces, everything is strapped tight.
Rain... yeah, if its baggy, the rain sort of pools, and then when you move you get a big spill. I just want the rain to run off..

I dunno. I like my jacket to be just fitting me. It will stretch if needs be.

my veiw too, plus, there is room underneath for a fleece or something if its extra cold.

[philipMac]

Ha ha ha.
I dont like fleeces either. A pure wool jumper keeps me much warmer.

Very disagreeable bloke, arent I?

I am more thinking about winter in NYC though. It gets down to sort -10 -15C here, and I am tight jacket, fine wooly jumper, and a silk t-shirt when its really cold.
Back home in Ireland, it was never anywhere near as cold as it gets here, what I wore didnt really matter that much, as long as it was water proof.

Different kettle of fishies out here.
