Suitable jacket?

Anyone like to recommend a good, lightweight, bright (not dark) wind and waterproof jacket that would fit a 6' bloke with slim frame and long arms? Most things dont have long enough sleeves for me
Cheers!

I tried an Endura Flyte on last week which had really long arms, nice jacket, bit pricey though.Saracen Tenet 3 - 2015 - Dead - Replaced with a Hack Frame

I've got this one -

I'm 6'1" and it fits me fine, I've been caughts in some pretty nasty rain the last few weeks here in Dundee and its kept me dry, its also very very bright!0 -

+1 for the Night Vision. You need a baselayer with it though.FCN 2-4.

My Flyte arrived yesterday and I used it for the first time today. I am very very impressed, may even say it's one of the best pieces of cycling clothing I've ever bought. It is warm, apparently windproof and breathable - although I'll have to wait a few weeks (days probably!) to comment on that..it gets great reviews everywhere though. It's the fit that I'm impressed with most, almost can't feel that I have it on, no matter whether I'm standing, walking, or riding the bike....very comfy.0

The Gore-Tex Oxygen IV might suit you - very good piece of kit and comes in red/light-grey/black. It is more a good wind/waterproof than a hivis jacket though.0

I would get a Gore if you got long arms. The Alturas are OK if you have shortish arms but they don't fit me and the Night Vision is not really a lightweight jacket - I would avoid it.
The Gore Oxygen IV is a lightweight, packable, waterproof outer shell and it comes in a range of colours to suit.x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
