I read a review (elsewhere) of the Laser jacket in which the reviewer complained that the sleeves are a little on the short side. I'm 6'2'' with long arms, so short sleeves are a deal-breaker for me. (I like a close fit, so I don't want to size up just to get longer sleeves.) Thoughts? I'd love a second opinion...

I just received a 2010 version of the Laser - size large. I'm 6'4" with a 35" sleeve length. I also own a few Arcteryx softshell pieces. I would say that relatively speaking the Mammut Laser fits longer in the arms similar to Arcteryx - not shorter. The piece fits perfectly in my opinion. Sleeve length is more than sufficient. Body is fitted yet can layer underneath. Torso length hits right below my belt but above my backside. Hope that helps.

I'm 6'1" w/slightly long arms. I have a large Laser softshell. A medium would have fit in the chest and shoulders but the torso wasn't quite long enough. The sleeves are long enough for me unless I want to actually use the gaitors. They're a bit too short for that and the seam that sits b/t the thumb and index finger can become uncomfortable. But, the because of the way it's designed, not using the gaitor means having a hole in the wrist of your jacket that is exposed unless you're wearing full-gauntlet gloves. Seems like a little thing but there have been a few times when I've noticed the cold air (and/or water) flowing in through my sleeve when ice climbing or skiing. And, getting the gaitors over any glove bigger than a liner is pretty difficult.
