it doesn’t work, jacket still stretches up and then it gets stuck above my waist so it’s kind of worse

torso is pretty normal, i’ve found that almost all these brands just get wider as you size up. almost none of them get longer more than 1 or 2 cm between sizes. that’s why i just want something that is long to start with.

I have the same issue. I have had good luck with flylow. I'm 6'3" longish torso and the xl's are great.

Saga had the best fitting jackets for me RIP. At work we have Mammut jackets and there does not appear to be any difference in length between the XL and 2XL :(

Definitely agree with the previous comment about Saga - I'm still rocking their XL monarch jacket because the fit is just right. Bloom would be another company that comes to mind that has a longer fit without adding a bunch of extra room around the chest/waist. North Face used to make shells that came in a "tall" size but I'm not sure if this is still the case and now they are just insanely expensive.
