    Hi there,

    I was wondering if anyone could recommend a quality waterproof cycling jacket that has particularly long sleeves. I have long arms and can’t seem to find a jacket that comes down to the hands when I am stretched out.

    Thanks

    I’m not surprised the cat needed a repair – you must have been livid!

    I think it’s a unisex jacket. The description sometimes says it’s a men’s jacket and other times a lady’s jacket.

    Most customer reviews seem to moan about it having long sleeves.
    They’re just right for me.

    Another expensive option is the Assos Sturmprinz has long arms with excellent cuffs. It’s a great jacket, with plenty of venting – you don’t overheat but it’s not 100% waterproof. I’ve found that even in biblical rain I’ve been wet but very comfortable.

    I’ve tried a number of jackets (Altura, Sportful, etc) and none of them are long enough for my simian-proportioned arms

    Expensive answer? Gore

    Expensive answer? Gore Shakedry Stretch. Best fitting jacket I have ever worn, I didn’t realise how important fit was until I spent 4 hours in the rain wearing this jacket, it was (almost) a pleasure.

    However, the cat got mine, so while it’s away getting repaired I bought a Galibier Tourmalet for almost exactly a quarter of the price of the Shakedry Stretch (£63). The fit of the Tourmalet is almost just as good, the material feels cheaper but it gets good reviews, so I’m looking forward to testing it out.
