I have both 3 and 5mm Bare Reactives, and both fit the same. Obviously, the 5mm is a little less stretchy, but XLS size fits me perfectly.
 
I have the velocity ultra size ML in 3mm used it Bonaire 78 F water 4 dives a day and loved it. Just ordered the velocity ultra size ML in 5mm to use in the Bahamas hope it fits.
 
I bought Reactive 3 and 5mm suits at the same time a few years ago. Size XL fit me the same in both suits.

But, those were 1st gen. If you have a 1st gen 3mm and now you're looking at a 2nd gen 5mm, it would not surprise me if the sizing changed a little.
 
We are a BARE dealer. I generally either stay with the same size, or go up a size for thicker neoprene. Never have gone smaller for a thicker suit. The Reactive 5mm is a fantastic suit. If you would like, PM me with you height and weight. I know the BARE line really well and can tell you if the Medium will fit you
Why did Bare quit making the women's Velocity Progressive Full-Stretch? So far, that's been my favorite suit and I have about 6 of them. I suppose that's enough but what if . . .? 😊
