I am 6'*' and have a 38" sleeve length. This jacket fits very well in the shoulders and the sleeves are plenty long, but the body of the jacket is much longer and a tad baggier in the middle than I anticipated. The zipper has a flap with velcro tabs to keep water out. I've worn this as a lightweight jacket, and during several rainy days. It kept me dry and does breathe very well. Velcro on the sleeves and an adjustable waist string help with fit. Zippered side pockets are big and deep enough to actually put your hands into. One improvement I would like to see is with the hood. It does not have a tension strap to keep the front of the hood from hanging over your eyes. Overall, I like the jacket and would recommend it to others.
