This is a long shot here. As a kid I bought a buffalo windshirt in size 42 for cycling in summer and walking. Basically it was my summer outer layer in rain. I absolutely loved it at the time because it fitted me well and was simply comfortable.
Fast forward and a few outdoor clothing systems later I find the benefits of a good windshirt again. I just can't find anything as good as the buffalo windshirt was. I say was because I'm now sized 44 in a special 6 shirt sand and that's a perfect fit for length and girth. I need that with an unlined version.
Why not get a 44 windshirt? It's significantly shorter. The 44 is the same length as the 42 which I have just tried on. Yes, I can still fit into the windshirt I wore when 14 years old!!!! It's just not long enough.
Plenty of windshirt options out there. I've got 4 somewhere in the house, but they're not right. Two Montane ones, full zip and without the excellent side zips and front pocket of the buffalo. Paramo one, front pocket is there but it's big and flappy as you'd expect with paramo sizes (let's not debate this point, it doesn't fit me so no good despite the good design features). Then there's the excellent buffalo one which I've grown too tall for, even in the in bigger sizes. BTW I've looked at the larger sizes and none will be long enough for my liking.
So does anyone know where I can get a smock style windshirt in pertex quantum (or equivalent) with a good chest pocket, side access zips which double as excellent ventilation, velcro wrist adjustment and has the potential for the addition of or indeed the existence of a hood? Tough ask because they're almost all based on the basic runner's wind top. I basically want something relatively light like those tops but with a more technical design like buffalo shirts.

Yeah, thats the other type, 40's style!
