    I am 14 (170cm) and have great difficulty finding clothing for me as I am long limbed and skinny. The problem is that shorts of the right leg length are too baggy and too long in the shoulder straps, whereas shorts of the right tightness and shoulder strap length are to short on the legs. Do any of you have similar experiences or suggestions.

    I’m 195cm and skinny. I’ve always found the dhb range to fit nicely (which considering the price is a bonus). The most recent summer stuff I bought was in their performance range (medium) and the bib shorts and short sleeved tops fitted perfectly.

    Castelli’s race kit is some of the only kit that has sleeves long enough for me.

    Worth trying race fit kit from most brands I’d have thought though.

    As someone 195cm tall, I wondered where this perceived long limbedness came from (I’ve been >180cm since I was 14) B-) Although I’m more of a prop-forward than beanpole.

    Only advice I have is to keep looking – you’ll find eventually find some that suits – took a while for me to find a brand who has at least a model that corresponds with my body shape.
