Any cyclists with long arms?

    If so could you tell me the name of a few brands that make winter jackets long enough to comfortably cover up 37 - 38 inch long arms?

    Trying to stock up on winter gear and don't want to have the same thing happen as last year when it was raining hard and I had a 3 inch gap between gloves and sleeves when cycling!

    Thanks.

    Hiya, I have pretty much the same problem and have tried multiple makes/brands over the years. I have found the Specialized brand have really long sleeve lengths, dont know if this will help you (as you didnt indicate your height or normal jersy size)? I have a slim build, being 6-2 and use XL size in their jackets (element is a great winter jacket) although in t-shirts & shorts an L will do me. Most other jackets in the L or XL come up short or are too bulky, especially around the chest & waist. No harm giving them a try. I have a great habit of when trying on a jacket in the bike shop of bending my elbows as if on a bike to see how far they ride up.

    Goodluck.

    Nalini (Moa) usually have short arms, same with Castelli. Avoid.

    My club Santini jersey has long arms. It's the only Santini long sleeve jersey I have so I dunno if I just got lucky.

    Assos: I have two long sleeve jerseys and both have long arms.

    All of my long sleeve jersey have long arms, and my short sleeve ones have short arms... wonder if there's some correlation in the description with respect to arm length... ;)

    This might fit the bill. I have it and it's got long arms. Too long, IMO
