I am a guy that is 6'5" and I have a big chest from alot of weight lifting and I seem to be having an issue with tri-tops being long enough to cover to my shorts. Does anybody have any recommendations on tops that are made for the taller gentleman or am I to spend the rest of my time racing in sleevless underarmor compression shirts?

Desoto advertises there tri tops as being longer.  I have a zip top from a year ago and found it long enough (I'm only 6'3, but proportionately long in the torso).  I don't think this particular jersey is made any more but I think thiew website for the current line still says "cut long enough to cover the stomach"

DeSoto. I'm also 6'5". Probably not as buff as you, but I'm very happy with my DeSoto top. Keeps my belly covered up.

I'll have to check out the Desoto. I'm so tired of having the busted can of biscuits look.

I bought a Zoot tank top at REI on the clearance rack. XL. I'm 6'2" and 48" chest, fits great and plenty long, I actually tuck it in. It may be a cycling jersey, but it works great and I wear it swimming as well and it works great.

I have TYR Tri top and I am 6'6 and 270 with a chest that benches 450, so it should work for you too.

That is actually the kind I tried. It was their "Splice" and it was too short. I would think that I am probably built much like you sa what model was it that worked for you?
