I think the sizing up might depend on how you're built. I'm generally speaking an XL in most things, and the XL simms give me plenty of room. If I was a portly angler I might agree on the need for more size.

The G3's are much more fitted than any of my Bean waders ever were, which is good, because I didn't trust my Italian tailor to alter them and keep the seams waterproof
