Any recommendations for simple longsleeved baselayers for folks who have v long arms? Most of those I've tried on finish half way up my forearms.

I have monkey-length arms too - I've found that the stuff from [url= http://www.chocolatefishmerino.co.uk/ ]chocolatefishmerino[/url] fits [me] properly.

No connection [i]et cetera[/i], other than as a very satisfied customer.

Monkey armed freak here, endura Baa Baa longsleeves fit me well, just remember to re shape when damp or they do dry smaller ( fixable)

have a look at icebreaker tops.
I love the way they cover my wrists.

Yep, another vote for the Endura, although they do seem to wear out quickly.

I've got some ahem Rapha ones which fit well and unusually for them seem to be similar prices as the rest of the merino possibilities...

King of freaks here (7ft armspan fingertip to fingertip) and i find the Helly Hanson Lifa baselayers a pretty good fit.

ta for the responses.
I do use the lifa s atm but wanted a change. I'll try the Endura top and see how that goes.
