So I was searching for a BIFL rainjacket that can do it all (as far as thats possible ofc ;)). Of course I stumbled upon the Patagonia Torrentshell, but when I went to try it on, it felt “saggy” and a bit short on the arms. As I plan to commute by bike, I prefer longer arms.
Is there any rain jacket with a narrower fit, somewhere in the same price range as the Torrentshell?
Edit: i forgot to add, that I life in germany so I am open to european brands as well :)
Rainjackets are easy, just any unbreathable plastic works well if it has the zippers well treated. I bought mine at the fan shop from the football club in the city I migrated to. And it’s been keeping me dry on the bike for the last couple of years. Just bought the regenpants and good to go ;)
Have you considered a rain cloak? The rain cloak (and shelter) by Onewind is amazing! I wear it as everyday rain gear instead of a rain jacket. The hood is spacious and adjustable. The cloak drapes over backpacks, shopping bags, and even children. I have yet to use it as a shelter or while biking, but here is a review from a cyclist:
It began to rain as I rode my bicycle down a local gravel road. I put on the rain cape, pulled the hood over my helmet, and threw the front of the cape over my handle bars. I stayed magically dry. Can’t wait to sleep in the shelter; what a system!

We must send more telegrams. I shall notify the quartermaster.
