Calling all you tall dudes 6'+

MissKaos · 04-06-2009, 12:05 PM

What kind of pants do you wear?

Yes, I really am being serious - I'm not asking about your levi's or chinos......but what kind of riding pants do you wear?

I'm looking for something for Mr.Kaos - and he's a pretty big boy - has a 36 inch inseam. He rides a Frankin'bike (CX500)...so I'm not looking for leathers. Just something that will save his hide if needed.

Thoughts?

Tydd · 04-06-2009, 12:09 PM

I'm 5'11" so I don't meet your request but have you looked at anything like this?

Like Lazy suggested, but the pants. They have sizes for us big guys too. www.bohn-armor-pants.com

Or you could just get him something like this...

I wear Dainese leather pants, Im a tall guy and they fit snug at first but relaxed as I wore them. Picked them up at New Enough a couple years go.

micko24 · 04-06-2009, 03:16 PM

This is what I currently wear. I'm 6'1" with a 34" inseam, and the length is great but the waist is too large. But I only weigh about 180 lbs.

same ones that someone else posted. I got the arc textiles. My inseam isn't as big as your boys. apparently i'm torso man compared to him. depending upon the type of pants i'm either 32 or 34 but like i said, they drag on me probably a good 3" or so.

You need to eat some twinkies Kris ;-)

MissKaos · 04-07-2009, 07:42 AM

Thanks everyone for your advise on sizing and brand. I'm going w/ the Icon's for him (but not in blue, Lazy....)

scharf2u · 05-09-2009, 08:06 PM

I know the reply is late, Duh! I'm a noob. I'm 6' 4" and around 42" at the waist with a 46" inseam. Wear the Olympias in 2XL. Great warm/waterproof in winter with the liner and vented in summer with the liner out.

scharf2u · 05-09-2009, 08:07 PM

Make that a 36" inseam, Larry Bird I am not.

Exitwounds · 05-09-2009, 10:48 PM

###t I can't find anything that fits me well tbh. I'm 6'6" and stuff just doesn't come long enough - Aplinestars looks like Chuckie Cheese gear on me.

**Rookie** · 05-10-2009, 12:44 PM
