Bummer! We're sorry to hear that no matter what you tried the Stratus did not fit you.! ARGH! Fortunately, they seem to fit the other 98% of the gen pop out there.
BTW, our sleeves measure exactly to industry standard specs compared with all leading outdoor brands, and in some cases 1in longer. Boy howdy how 'bout that?
As for the 'expensive' price, au contraire! Our Stratus is without question the best value for a down jacket in this class. You will not find a goose down jacket in this class with as many high level features, details, quality of make and quality of materials at this price period. Do the research, do the comps, we stand by our claim. Cheers!
