Why is it that when they give size info for upper body garments, they neglect to give the arm length!

HikingWombatI'm betting the "inseam" measurements refer to arm length. I was wondering why they would include an inseam spec on an upper body garment. Figured arm length was the only thing that made sense.

BlueTomHmmm... Apparently not, if you refer to the chart via the OR product listing: https://www.outdoorresearch.com/us/en/mens-whirlwind-hoody/p/2440560961006

Edited to add MD's size chart for comparison, I think the figures are the same.

serifWell, that's interesting and all, but the information bubble doesn't make any sense for this drop since it ain't pants being offered.

BlueTomExactly, it doesn't make sense but that's the chart that's returned upon clicking 'size chart' on the OR product listing.. The figures are the same as the ones in the MD size chart, so if MD took the same figures in the OR chart, and the OR chart explains that the 'inseam' refers to pants... then... it is unlikely that it refers to arm length?

serifIf I cared as much about it as you apparently do, I'd ask either OR or Massdrop to clarify the conflict in the listing. But since I don't care that much, I simply considered an explanation that makes sense to me. I don't care if it makes sense to you.

BlueTommakes sense to you, but still probably wrong...

SerJorahMormontI can't be "wrong" for simply considering something. If I concluded something, then I could indeed be wrong, but right or wrong isn't the point anyway. If there's an unanswered question about details in a Massdrop listing, then the manufacturer and/or Massdrop are the only sources who can give a definitive answer to it. Or at least I personally wouldn't count on any answer from anonymous posters who claim to know one way or the other what the true and accurate answer is. For some reason, both you and the previous poster to whom I replied, have taken exception to my deigning to try to surmise an explanation to the conflicting details of the drop. My first post was a surmisal, not a conclusion. Massdrop or OR should provide the accurate answer, not me.
