Technical clothing brands for extra long arms?
I'm a +5 in the ape index, (6'2" tall, with almost a 6'7" wingspan) Buying nice fitting jackets has never been a luxury I could enjoy. My solution for a while was to buy jackets made for ice climbing, because they are designed to have your arms extended over your head, which made a perfect fit for me for normal use. My problem now is that I'm getting into ice climbing, and my sleeves just aren't long enough when I'm hanging from my tools. I fit most Medium Tall stuff pretty well, the problem is that not many brands make their nice technical gear in a Medium Tall, just the general, more affordable stuff, and they usually end up being a bit long in the body.
What brands of technical wear are out there that have extra long sleeves?

The UK company Rab have a reputation for selling jackets and tops with longish sleeves. I'm 6'3" (I don't know about 'wingspan') and find quite a lot of their jackets/tops have sleeves more than long enough for me, perhaps a bit too long in some cases!
Also, here is a link to Rab's sizing guide, which also gives sleeve lengths: sizing guide
