Good point!  When you get measured, have a bike (or something
you can straddle just like one) handy.  I was amazed at how
much longer pant legs have to be (and sleeves too, to a lesser
extent) for a comfortable fit in riding posture.

And if you're considering any riding suit with velcro closures,
make sure the velcro strips are *at least* one inch wide.  The
skinny stuff just does not hold in a breeze.
