Hey guys,

Has anyone got any Craft clothing in here? I am looking to buy one of their L/S tops from Wiggle and although they've got some sizing charts I was wondering how long the sleeves really were, seeing as I have a 41" chest (so an L) but have got long arms (due to me being 6 foot 6)

Thanks,
gabriel

    I've got a Craft top... But, it's sleeveless :oops: Nice base layer, though.
    Got gloves, too... very nice.
    At least being sleeveless, it wouldn't matter about the length of your arms!! :wink:
    I'd take the risk and buy it, you can always end it back.
    Start with a budget, finish with a mortgage!

    Hi I use only Craft Clothing for my cycling. I had a chance of testing it on my 5000 miles trip around the Baltic Sea. I was using their padded shorts - probably the best I've ever used http://superlogo.co.uk/acatalog/Craft_C ... ng_UK.html, performance light jacket and Pro zero extreme crewneck (great as well). Also Craft Active Jersey - I found it bit short on front. You don't have to worry about the length of the sleeves - I wear size Medium, sleeves are longer than M. I got my craft clothing from superlogo - they also printed some stuff on my jackets which was quite cool.

    Just got some tri shorts from them and was suprised how big they came up, their sizing chart suggested XL for me but tbh I reckon I would have been ok with large(36 waist)
    Norfolk, who nicked all the hills?

    Send an e-mail to these guys http://www.alwaysriding.co.uk/ , they are very helpful, and if you ask, they may even measure the arm lengths for you.

    I have some of the Craft stuff, but I am a small, so can't give you an accurate picture, my arm length is OK however. Will say it is very good clothing, and a good fit.

    6ft2" and I wear a Large long sleeves and it fits my arms fine. It has been mentioned by a few on the forum before that the sleeves are generous.

    I think that in general, Craft come up a bit large.

    I'd tend to agree. I'm usually a L in cycle clothing but I bought M bib shorts from Always Riding (can't recommend them enough) and they are a great fit and I can't fault them.
