Length of the sleeve to be worried about with the riders jacket

Size is important when choosing a rider jacket

Many of you may have experienced that the sleeve length was longer than you expected when you put it on.

"The width of the shoulders and the silhouette between the bust and waist are just right, but the sleeve length is just too long..."

There must be many people who have had this experience!

Actually, I also have short arms, so most jackets tend to have long sleeve lengths...

Whether longer or shorter sleeves are better depends on your position on the bike, gloves, etc.

This length is the answer! However, if you try it on and feel that the sleeve length is too long, why not try adjusting the sleeve length?

A new jacket has long sleeves.

The sleeve length is clearly long, covering the base of the thumb.

Of course I like this length! There are some people who say so, so it's not an absolute no, but it does make me a little concerned.

I tried shortening the sleeve length by 3cm.

This is also the same as before [TSR-2/L size]

This item has had its sleeve length trimmed (zipper cut) since it was new, and the sleeve length has been shortened by about 3cm.

I chose the sleeve length with the riding position in mind, so it still looks a little long, but you can see the base of the thumb, giving it a sleeker look than before.

How does it look from the important riding position?

When worn as a new jacket, the sleeves rest on the back of the hand, but after adjusting the length of the sleeves, they fit exactly at the wrist.

Personally, I prefer this length, so the 3cm tab was the correct answer considering the riding position.

If you are concerned about the length of the sleeves, please ask a staff member.

If you are concerned about the length of the sleeves after trying it on, please feel free to ask our staff!

Of course, the most important thing is your preference, but we will recommend the length, including the type of glove and position on the bike.

Why not customize the sleeve length to suit your preferences and riding position?
