Matt,
From my experience buying coats, ski jackets have sleeves that are longer in length. You want the end of the sleeve to past your wrist and hit your palm. Most coats have some sort of adjustments at the wrist, such as Velcro or snaps, to give you tighter fit. That’s why you want it a little longer to begin with. I don’t know of any brands that make shorter sleeve lengths. Spyder is our biggest men’s ski brand so I would refer to their size chart for ideal sleeve length.

Are ski jackets normally designed with longer sleeves than normal jacket? If so, what is the ideal sleeve length relative to arm length?

Lastly, which manufacturer tends to make jackets with shorter sleeves?

Ana,

I would suggest the Obermeyer Sugarbush ski pants in the Long length. The size 10 of this pant in the Long style fits inseams 33-36”. This should work just fine for you.

I am really tall, it is very hard for me to find the right pant length. My inseam is 35. Could you suggest a brand I could look into that has really long pants. My waist is a 10.

Question: My daughter wears size 6x. What size youth ski pants should I get: XS or S?

Also, is Arctix 1150 snow pants good as a ski pants? How about 315 Cargo pants?

Thank you!
