Waterproof with longer sleeves...

Every jacket I try on seems to have stupidly short sleeves that would ride up when on the drops.

I've tried on loads but more often than not end up looking like that kid at school who grew up quicker than everyone else, but whose parents wouldn't buy him a new school blazer... :oops:

Grateful for ideas from you kind forum folk on brands / jackets that might be worth a gander. My budget is around a hundred quid or so.

    I know the feeling as I am 6'6".

    Get a Gore jacket, they got really long sleeves and the quality is great too. Craft sleeve lenght is also excellent. Santini's stuff is quite good too but you will probably have to go up a size.

    Avoid Altura, Nalini, Endura, Assos, Rapha....

    I have the altura pocket rocket and they don't ride up but the only reason is because they have the little loop to put over your thumb - I find however long the sleeves are, without this loop they ride up.
