Hi All,
I'm 5'10", ~145 lbs in race trim, ~32" inseam and wear approximately 31-32" waist slacks. Height/weight has me at the top end of the Small per Roka Size chart. I currently have a Medium, as when I bought it I was probably closer to ~150-155 (race weight relatively consistent in the ~145-150 range).
Thoughts on Small vs. Medium at these dimensions? Haven't swam in the M yet -- relatively easy to put on dry including rear zip up...don't notice many 'loose spots' around areas like small of back. Do see some areas of creasing/bunching in the shoulders (with arms up and arms down), slight creases at elbows, and some light 'wave/creases' at the knee. It certainly doesn't feel "roomy" worn dry but also not tough to put on nor does it feel too small (realizing it will open up on the water). Neck feels fine -- not tight nor loose (albeit not super tight in the back -- front snug against neck/chest area.
40 y/o competitive in age group. Suppose I'd like to error on side of performance, esp. if it's a material difference but also not a super confident swimmer and don't like feeling claustrophobic.
I'll of course email Roka for thoughts but hoping for some input from folks here.

A few questions:
1) Should I consider Small vs. Medium?
2) Given that I'm "in between" or near the line on their size chart, will I lose material performance staying w/ the Medium?
