Mavriq Posted September 5, 2018 Share Hi Guys So I finally got my Magneeto cycling jacket and ordered it in size L. The jacket looks awesome and specs are relative to my needs however I find that the detachable sleeves are completely mismatched in sized compared to the gilet. I've fitted on the medium jacket and it barely closes around my midsection but the medium sleeves are definitely a more appropriate fit for the large gilet. I am approximately 1.74m tall and weight 80kg's and large is generally my appropriate size. I have taken this up with first ascent and I must say they have been very accommodating and efficient thus far. I have taken the jacket to their head office and they are having a look at it for me so now I'm waiting anxiously for their feedback. Anyone else come across this problem?

Mavriq Posted September 5, 2018 Share sounds like they gave you the wrong set of sleeves Hi Bud. Definitely not the wrong set of sleeves for the jacket. I went to Sportsmans warehouse to try on different Magneeto jackets and it was exactly the same mismatched fit. With other types of jackets the large is a good fit. It's only the Magneeto Jacket and when I took the jacket in this morning to their head office, they said that they were not previously aware of the problem but agreed that it was a concern. I will revert with feedback once I hear from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V18 Posted September 5, 2018 Share You must have ordered the orangutan version. Ask for 29er mamil specific. tux26, Eddie Stafford and Wet Ears 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more or less the same size as you and I have a L as well, see pic below, mine is not too long and provides ample arm movement hboli4 and Sepia 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zmowzer Posted September 5, 2018 Share I also have the same problem with my magneeto.I have a large that's snug around the body but very wide by the arms, the length of the arms are fine. Regardt van der Merwe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CASSIE1975 Posted September 5, 2018 Share I also have one (bought about 6-7 years ago) and fits perfect...also a LARGE.Have been using it with and without sleeves whenever I can and it just works Only thing I have seen now after a few years...the sleeves are a bit Brighter than the gilet area, but I guess that is just because I don't use the sleeves as much as I use the gilet Really like my jacket and hope to use it until it goes totally white from the sun hboli4 and fanievb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hboli4 Posted September 5, 2018 Share I also have the old version with no issues, also in L. Have been going strong for about 8 years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK Posted June 3, 2020 Share I also have the same problem with my magneeto.I have a large that's snug around the body but very wide by the arms, the length of the arms are fine.I have the same issue. Did you ever manage to resolve it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ouzo Posted June 3, 2020 Share It might be a "thats the way is supposed to be" issue.The jacket I just got from Anatomic is similar, the body of the jacket fits nice and snug but the arms seems to be to long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
