If you sit perfectly between two sizes would you size up or down?

Hi Jake,
Size down if:
You prefer a snug fit with minimal movement.
You’ll mostly wear it over thin layers (like a T-shirt).
You want better stability for running.
Size up if:
You plan to wear it over thicker layers.
You prioritize comfort and ease of putting it on/off.
You’ll carry the vest fully loaded (hydration + gear), which can make a smaller size feel tight.
Salomon vests are designed to fit close to the body, so they often feel tighter than expected at first.
The elastic chest straps give some flexibility, but if you’re truly in the middle, think about your layering and load.
