Long riding pants?

Post by **jas** » Sun Oct 01, 2006 12:00 pm

I am 6'3 with a 34" waist and am having a difficult time finding riding pants that don't pull up to my knees while riding.

Any suggestions for over pants?

I'm 6'4" and also have a 34" waist....my new Camo Draggin's are a 38" waist and I ordered them about 4" longer than normal.

I need a belt to keep them up...but I like the baggy fit...they're a bit too long standing but once sitting the leg length is perfect.

Also..the bigger size waist lets me to wear other pants underneath in colder weather.

They might be worth concidering...or are you looking for a waterproof over pants type of thing?

I recently acquired a pair of Olympia Airglide II pants, and they are plenty long - so long they look saggy and baggy around my ankles while standing, yet they fit "just right" while seated on the bike. YMMV ...

Thanks for the info all. Time to trade my high-waters in for something new and useful.

jas, I picked up a pair of these earler this summer "Tourmaster Apex Air"
I purchased the perforated ones (they come either way) I purchased them through "Newenough" at a pretty good price. I have a "Roadcrafter" for the cooler weather and needed something for the summer, I tried a few different brands and I think I have found what I am looking for in the "Tourmaster" Just MOP. Den
