Long Legged

[ceekay]

So, I've had a good search on the forum on this subject but the results are a bit old and non specific.

I'm 6'4" and it's all leg. My inside leg is about 35". finding regular jeans is always a total pain in the arse but it seems finding waterproof textile motorcycle trousers is going to be worse.

Are there any other lanky buggers who can recommend some? I was looking at ~£100 - If i need to pay more for the privilege of having longer ones, fine.

Cheers in advance.

I have the same inside leg (two inches shorter than you though, so I have an even worse leg/body ratio ). What sort of waterproofs are you wanting, overtrousers or textiles?

Teknic have good length troos if you're wanting textiles. They come with elasticated stirrups that keep the leg down so you don't have the bottom of the trouser half way up your shin when on the bike like I've had with other textiles.

Overtrousers I just buy a really large size so they're long enough as the elasticated waiste normally stretches to a really small size anyway.

I was really hoping to get some textile trouser that were waterproof. I was looking at the Weise X Blade stuff, but the troos are 31"

With the weather up here i'd rather not have to stop to put on proper waterproofs especially since if it's sunny you can toss a coin as to whether it wil rain in the next 15 minutes.
