The shoulder and arm hole also have slightly different dimensions. Am I correct in assuming that these don't contribute to the overall fit very much.
Not really. In general, the larger the armhole, the smaller the chest you need. But as you say, this material is stretchy and these don’t really need to be fitted, so I’m concentrating more on getting length right. I think that is key, especially as a mid layer.

I managed to get the only Medium.
The shop website had a slight hiccup. When I first attempted to pay, I got an error saying that there were no more in stock, but I refreshed the page and the product was available to purchase. I guess this could have been a race condition between myself and another customer or myself and the staff updating the website.
My transaction went through at 16:02:10 UK time.

Can’t figure out xxl vs xl.
I wear xxl in western uhfs, 292 cpo, 9oz western flannels
I wear xl in 5oz work shirtsThe 24.8” p2p on the xxl concerns me. I pounced on this size to ensure it’s need too tight since I will layer hoodies/thermals under it.
Thoughts?

I went L (XL in most shirts). I’ll be wearing over one layer though. Probably go XL if I was putting it over a heavy layer.
My rule of thumb with vests is to go with the around the same measurements as the biggest layer you’ll wear it over. Armholes on vests are slightly lower down so p2p is not at the same place on your body as with shirts.

Ugh was so sure I needed xxl. I was worried I’d miss out based on stock. Based on your feedback, I purchased a xl as well (I’m so very sorry to be that jerk). Whichever doesn’t work I’ll sell on here or return for credit, my cost to return.
Sorry and thanks for feedback.
Best,

@Dans - I went with the XL - Obviously we won't know if that the right choice for a few days, but here is my feelings towards it.
My IHV-02 is XL and I like how it fits in the shoulders. My 9526V is an XXL and I feel the shoulders are too big. Polartec is a great mid layer, so I wanted it to fit more neatly, and it has a ton of stretch and essentially zero shrink.
Hope that helps. I am a pretty standard XXL shirt wearer.

Thanks so much. I’ll let ih know they can keep xxl unless they have any issues!

I got mine but worked 2 doubles so no chance to try it out yet. Anyone else?
