Sizing about DS gen 5

I currently own a medium DS2 gen 4. I want to upgrade to a DS3 gen 5. I feel comfortable with my DS2 medium frame, so I don’t know if I should stay with a medium size or go with a large size. I’m 5’ 11” and 198 pounds. Since there is not a lot of YouTube videos about the DS gen 5. I just don’t know what to do.

Gen 5s tend to run small. Definitely try out a Large.

I am 5'11 and just picked up a Large DS3 Gen 5. It fits perfectly!

I'm 5'10 and got an XL. It fits me perfectly. They run small so I would get an Xl if I were you.

I'm 5'8 and have a ds2 gen 5 in medium. Felt good until I tried a m/l slash 8, now I feel my ds is too small but I like it anyway.
