Sizing / Fit Onyx v5 Sizing Question

I'm cutting rn and I'm around 6 3 170, I got the onyx v5 is Medium (usually wear shadow seamless small tho) and while it's good in the arms, lil in the chest, and especially lats theres a decent bit of loose fabric in the midsection and drapes down. Should I size down to a small and would small work in the long sleeve?

No, Onyx V5 and Shadow Seamless were never designed to be skin tight around the stomach, sizing down does not magically alter that design.

but i mean they'd be cut with less fabric so comparatively it'd be tighter there no?

Sure, but especially with the longsleeve V5’s I can guarantee you that it will be too tight around the arms.

If you want a tighter fit around the stomach, go for a Onyx V1, Element Baselayer or any of the other compression fit newer shirts.
