Early fresh goods pre purchase - Altura Podium Short Sleeved Jersey

I noticed this top in Cycling Plus - Zyro/Altura advert. What caught my eye was the length of the sleeve which looked longer than a normal top and the rider was on a Cannondale Evo Team Edt! I normally buy/wear Gore jerseys but the problem I have is in summer when its sunny my upper right arm where I had my first operation is never fully covered / protected from the sun. I have been looking for a jersey with longer sleeves just for this but have never seen any, until now. An email to Marky at Westbrook Cycles and some technical data form the Zyro rep - ie sleeve lengths on some of their new 2015 range the Podium model has the longest so one was ordered. They came into stock at Zyro, Darlington on Monday and Marky had it in the shop on Wednesday. I haven't had a change to get down yet to try it on but hopefully it will fit / sleeves be long enough. If the jersey is spot on might order another one in a different colour. Here is the tech blurb on the top -
"The new summer line-up includes a refreshed Podium Jersey, pitched as offering superior thermal regulation through Altura's own high wick fabrics, with enhanced moisture management to keep riders dry, and strategically placed Draft Venting that captures ride draft to provide engineered body cooling performance. It uses COLDBLACK from Schoeller Technologies to provide UVA and UVB protection to reduce the absorption of sunlight and therefore heat build-up, keeping riders cool, dry and comfortable."
