They all seem to have hoods on now. My Zip T is a very long pullover and doesn't have a hood. Maybe it's an older design.

Tog24 baselayer is what I use & plenty long in the back, another one Im using is Zerofit Heatrub Move is what I use for walking in when a bit of chill & been great, only a windproof jacket if required on top.

All mine seem to ride up a bit, looking for something longer, preferably with a 3/4 zip.

I like the same and the best I have found are Devold and Aclima baselayers if you are happy with wool?

I'm long and thin and I find that Rab stuff tends to fit me better if that's any help.

Cycling tops tend to have long backs. Check those.

This is the one I have. It's very long. I mostly use it for cycling in the winter because it comes down to my legs and tucks neatly between my shorts and thermal tights.

A half zip allows venting whilst working hard. 4 – 7 0/78 cm.

Seller is asking more for that used than I paid new!

Got a Bula Retro Merino for half price last year, it has a zip, looks ok, is durable and comfortable, flat seams aren't on top of the shoulder, less expensive than most other brands and is long enough for me.

Brynje.

Mesh or solid, wool or polyester, all are extremely long.

Brynje is good for length. So is Under Armour (as they're very stretchy)

I'm 6'3 and don't have a problem with base layer body lengths, though do with arm lengths (Brynje and UA also good for that)

I have a Mammut vest, bought from Trekkit, I think, about a year ago. Long zip, long in the body, stays tucked in pretty well. It's fairly thin, which suits me well, even in winter. It's lovely to wear.

Same with hunting

Another vote for Brynje and First Lite base layers are long. They come in various forms and have solid colours aswell as the camo.

I wouldn't call the Mountain Equipment Eclipse line a baselayer per se. They can be worn as a base, Definately as a stand alone and as a mid.

I've a really long back.

Devold, Aclima, Supernatural, Klattermusen, Isobaa, Termo all fit me very well. The new Rab stuff did too when I tried one on last week in GO.

For UK winter or Scandinavia I like Reed Transpire fleece. Too warm for summer use.

Baselayers and Undersuits

Reed Chillcheater Transpire fleece base layers. Polar Bears Diving - Woolly Bear undersuits & thinsulate undersuits are the first choice for many professional divers.

In summer I use a Rab Tee shirt, I think it's called a Ventus shirt. They've probably changed it now, Rab seem to be for ever changing their range.
