I finally decided and ordered a Revit Cayenne. Tall skinny, 6'2" 190# (incl 10# overweight), 40" chest, ordered a L. Fits great standing there.
BUT when I move my arms forward on the Monster, the sleeve/body seam pulls back and digs like
CRAZY into the bottom/front of my armpits (the tendon that forms the front of your armpit.) I have a Columbia goretex ski jacket that does it also and its unbearable after a short while. Ordered a Cayenne in XL and it still does it a little but the body is too big. The cut of the jacket is such that the sleeves dont angle forward like a leather sport oriented jacket does.
Anyone else have this problem?
Spoke w/ the great guys @ revzilla and they said all the textile jackets they have have arms like that. Cut for more upright touring we guess.
Are there any 4 season textile jackets that do have the arms pre-cut hunched forward? Or have gussets behind the shoulders for when you do reach forward? Do the 'standard' bike guys just get screwed?
The two jackets that fit best are my ancient Teknic leathers and 40L Carhartt 'arctic' work jacket (because it has presloped arms & gussets for guys that work w/ their hands for a living.)
Got the new bike and just kind of bummed I can't find a jacket to fit
