Functional, toasty, issue with sleeves

Mountain Hardwear gear rocks but pattern makers sure could finetune their sizing. The sleeves on this jacket (length) do not correspond with the sizing. I tried both the Medium and Small for sizing and the small fit me perfectly but the sleeves were a tad too short when I move my arms. The sleeves on the medium were more in line with a small size. MH could easily have worked out this issue by adding an inner cuff to the sleeves, especially a fleece one. There is a cinch (velcro) on the end of the sleeve but you have to really cinch this tight to account for the large sleeve opening. It's the one part of this jacket that I don't like. I kept the jacket because it meets all other specs ... but if I had worn it around and realized the sleeves are an issue I wouldn't have purchased it. I have a lot of MH gear and I will say sizing isn't standard to industry nor is it consistant to MH so buyer beware: Get the measurements for all length seams!
