You do need a little more space, but you still want the jacket to be tight. Fit for me was about as follows: I bought appropriately-tight jackets, but they broke in to have a bit more space than I wanted. My chest/back protector is perfect for making the jackets fit perfectly again.

So if the jackets are number sizing, then yeah -- you may go up just one (say, from a 44 to a 46). But if it's just M/L/XL, I wouldn't go up a whole size, or it'll be swimming on you.
