Tall thin jacket with proportionally longer arms?

I need input on where to go for a jacket that has a decent length on the body, as i am 6'2" flat footed,  and 155-160 lbs with long arms that never fit in the wrist gaiters, like my hands stick out of the sleeves to the wrist, so if i put my thumb through the thumb-hole i cant reach my feet (the jacket holds me back), i am currently wearing a sessions large and it is about the right length, maybe a little short (barely covers my butt for snowboarding) but to wide around the body and the sleeves are too short.

jacket must cover my butt and have long enough sleeves to reach the ground to buckle snowboard bindings.

also, minimum 15k waterproof and 10k breathable.

thanks.

Find an XL coat over 34" zipper length.
Also don't use the hobo gloves

We use a longer than traditional sleeve cut, let me know if you have any questions on anything. I think the XL or XLT would fit you great!

Check out the sizing chart here:
