Montane North Star sizing

I am tempted to get myself this jacket, my problem though is that - currently living in France - I don't have an option to try it anywhere, would need to buy it online and keep my fingers crossed for the proper sizing. Therefore, could any of the existing owners of this jacket advise what size should I be looking at if I am 188 cm and quite slim (72 kg)?

Edit: I should add that my main concern is the sleeve length. Essentially I would prefer something rather close fitting, though usually my problem is that when a jacket fits my body right, the sleeves are a bit too short. However this is not always the case, as for example my Haglofs Electron jacket fits me perfectly.

Also, I have already dropped Montane an email, still waiting for their reply, would love to hear some users' opinions too if possible.

Hi

I have a Northstar in Large. 

It fits very well - nice and long in body compared to other sub-600g down jackets I tried.

I am 183cm tall, weigh 74kg, skinny build (chest 100cm) but with broad shoulders, long arms and long upper body.

Arms are just long enough for me - I would prefer a little longer, but OK for my use - walking/camping(not for climbing?)  

The inside seam from armpit seam to cuff edge is 61cm (the last cm or so is uninsulated cuff)

 Hope that helps

That helps a lot, thank you Mole!

One more question - could you please let me know what is the neck to cuff length of the sleeve? (2 here: http://www.amyherzogdesigns.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/backmeasure.gif)

Thanks again!

Also, would be great if someone could give me those sizes for XL for comparison...
