My name is Sarah and I am 6 feet tall and I am all torso (inseam is only 29). I am looking for a tri top that is longer in length or a bike top that is longer. Has anyone out there come across anything like this?

Thanks in advance for your help,
Sarah

I am in the exact same boat as you- 6'0" and super long torso.  Shopping is a blast, eh?

I have a tri top from Pearl Izumi (this one).  I normally wear a Medium in most clothes, but bought a size up (L) in this and it fits wonderfully.  I have to wear a sports bra under it, as the built-in support isn't quite enough for me, but the length is fabulous.   I also found a tri top from Danskin at REI about a year ago that was nice and long.

For bike jerseys, I've found that Louis Garneau makes decently long tops.  I have a short-sleeved bike jersey as well as a cycling jacket, both of which are quite long and generally comfy.  Not quite the material quality of some of the other brands, but I like them.
