Anyone know if the medium will have long enough sleeves for 34-35 length arms? I'm 175 6ft looking for an athletic fit.
Is there anything I can consider that has a similar look but is more waterproof? It seems anything that is waterproof is will be pricer than $150.

The medium will fit nicely. I am slightly smaller (5"-11" 165# trim/athletic) with monkey arms and the small fit my preferred trim (room for a baselayer) before I accidentally over-dried it. The medium should give you a little wiggle room, but still an athletic fit. As for increasing waterproofness - nothing specific comes to mind because its kind of the nature of a softshell - possibly MHW alchemy or arcteryx solano. Perhaps worth your time to find something with a dwr finish or investigate shells. If you go the shell route just make sure it has a high breathability rating (15000K min) to keep your skin from clamming - most GoreTex stuff is pretty good. The best bang for the buck is probably the Stoic brand lineup (formally backcountry.com brand). BC owns them + they really dish out the quality stuff.
