Arc'teryx Solano Jacket - Men's

I have bought this jacket some years ago, and it's a disappointment. I use arcteryx for shell, have a couple of jackets, and nothing beats their pants. Great fit and good products.
This one on the other hand was not. I'm 6'2", 180ibs and athletically buildt. Bought this jacket in L and found it to be too short, although this is what i use in my other arcteryx jackets. It's also way too tight in the armpits and not impressing in regards to wind-resistance.
The jacket looks nice, and maybe if I had bought one size larger then my normal arcteryx size it would fit me better. However, if you, like me, want a versatile, well tailored, wind resistant, soft shell jacket, look elsewhere.
