Hi, I am looking at buying these jackets for myself and my wife for day & night riding. I'm looking online but the sizing guide looks ridiculous. I'm tall and skinny (chest 90cm, arm from shoulder to wrist 64cm) but according to the sizing guide this makes me an XS. In most things I would take an M. The sleeve lengths start at 67cm and go up to 90cm! Who has almost 1 metre long arms??
I don't trust this sizing guide (https://www.99bikes.com.au/jacket-azur- ... zing.guide). So I was hoping to get some feedback from anyone who has one of these jackets as to appropriate sizing.
I know I could try to track them down in-store but there are very few places that have floor stock close to me.
Cheers
Azure Transverse reversible jacket

People with...what!? 1 metre long arms? Better get that down to Forensics...
Go up one size to M, but not L or XL; wife might have different needs: pack her along and have her fitted just-so too.
The extra size is because you will be in a cycling position on the bike, very much so on a road bike, not so much on an MTB/hybrid where you will be upright or slightly forward. Another point is to avoid dark colours — fluoro green/yellow or orange with reflective detailing, or reflective silver is the way to go. It annoys me immensely (as a driver and as a cyclist) the current "trend" of dingbat road cyclists dressing completely in black, with feeble $20 lights and usually little respect of considering how difficult they are to see at night.
You really do need to get into a store to fit properly.
