Can you help me find a waterproof coat with extra long arms.

I want a lightweight, properly outdoorsy waterproof coat, that doesn't cost a fortune.

Unfortunately I am build like an orang utang have disproportionately long arms, and can never find women's coats to fit. Men's coats usually fit, but I'd like a coat that was a bit fitted and maybe even nipped in slightly at the waist. But whenever I try things on the sleeves are just that bit too short, and in my experience, nothing makes you chilled to the bone than exposed wrists.

I have the same problem with tops too, but I've discovered H&M often have quite long sleeves. But they don't seem to have any coats of the sort I want.

Does anyone know of any brands or styles where the sleeves are too long for a normal person? At the moment I am reduced to wearing a shapeless old kagoul over a hoody when it rains, would love something a bit more attractive!

Danefae coats are made with extra long sleeves - not cheap though.
