Cycling tops for tall women?

[kylerboys]

I'm 5'9" and I've been having problems finding cycling tops that fit my longer torso. I've been buying tops that are a larger size so they cover my back/belly but then they are bulky. Any suggestions?

[KnottedYet]

I have long torso, long arms, but don't need the extra body width that tends to come with the length.

I've had very good luck with everything made by Ibex. www.ibexwear.com
(in casual clothes I've had good luck with Horny Toad and LL Bean.)

Craft, Gore & Castelli run long in the torso but feature a trimmer fit.

I am 5'10" but width-wise wear a small. I know what you mean...

Pearl Izumi Jerseys never fit me, except (to my great joy!) the Woolie Mammoth. Otherwise, though, they end around the base of my rib cage!

Sugoi & shebeest jerseys are a bit short, but tolerably so with shorts that are high enough, I generally have a bit of stomach showing in the front if I stand up, but on the bike they are comfortable. Unless it is really cold!

Canari seems to be about the same length-wise, but baggier. They never fit me well.

I don't have any Cannondale jerseys but I do have some baselayer pieces from them that fit great.

My favorite jerseys are from Castelli. They have always fit great.

I say this all with the caveat that no long-sleeve jersey I own has long enough sleeves. They are fine when I'm walking around, but on the bike I always have a gap of several inches.

My Cannondale jersey, which is the right size for my torso and bust, is way too short. And I'm only 5'4"!!!

I'm 5'6" but I often have this problem with jerseys too. I second Gore & Castelli -- both are cut with plenty of length. Sportful too.

I am 5'10" and am about 30 pounds overweight. I have found Cannondale to fit me the best (size L fits, but is a loose-which I like). Primal is small.

I also buy an occasional (heaven forbid) men's jersey. Those fit OK.
