[#6931781]

I want a roadie top/jersey with pockets in the back for when the weather warms up and I won't need the jacket I currently wear, however I'm quite tall and not fat. This morning I tried an endura top and the large was right across the chest and shoulders, but was too short (unless the boob-tube look is in fashon!) and the xl was like a sack on me. Are there any brands that tend to be longer? Thanks

Pearl Izumi fit well for me, 6'4" and average build.

Something "pro fit" in a larger size?

Yep, having looked at the shop website I think I tried on a regular fit top instead of the athletic/race fit, looks like I've got an excuse to go back next week when they get some of the athletic/race fit stuff in stock!

the Sombrio stuff is quite long in the body, and conveniently on sale at CRC tight now

Castelli and the top-end Gore stuff (which is slimmer-fit than their lower-end stuff) always fits me well. Northwave is often good, too. FWIW I'm 194cm/87kg and am normally XL in Castelli/Northwave and borderline L/XL in Gore.

I'm 189 cm and 80 kg and can also confirm Castelli fits in XL.

The merino roadie jersey is really, really nice quality too.

I took delivery of a DHB long sleeved top in XXL this morning. Put it on, arms were really long, great start but the body was so short it barely reached the top of a pair of shorts. Im 6'5" and have the same problem. Shame, nice top.

Tick...I could do with some recommendations. I'm 6ft 4in and 90 kg but with long spine so looking for jerseys with extra long back and arms without the aerodynamic drag of a marquee..
