Short legs - What pants?

[Tank]

I'm trying to find some good quality pants that come in a short leg - but am not having any luck.

They all seem to be made for long legged freaks - when the waist fits the armour is protecting my shins at best - ankles at worst

Any recommendations? (other than losing weight)

Last time I was at Motomail, they had short leg options for their Rev'It range, maybe have a look here as a start http://www.motoretail.co.nz/productlist.cfm?Group=10 ? I myself have short leg pants and they fit fine.

The only time I'm called a freak is when I'm naked

You could get something custom made. Try Motorcycle Safety Wear.

Thanks for that (good idea) - but Im trying to avoid leather.

Sounds like you're boasting ()
I also have short legs and find it a pita that everything seems to be designed for long legged chickies (or blokes, in your case). Will happily follow this thread as it might help us girls as well.

What is your waist size mate? and inside leg measurement?

[Ixion]

I have the same problem. I finally found a pair that offered a 'short' fitting. They fit. But I can't remember the name. I'll post it up later

Oh, in that case try some (Mobig) if you can find them, reasonable price and I believe all waist sizes come with a short leg option. I am similarly afflicted with a long body and short legs, any kind of pant buying is a nightmare for me but these fit fine.

Good luck.

No idea at all - I will measure this evening and PM you. (remembering last time I was caught in the bathroom with a tape measure for scientific research).

Do you guys do Cordura?

[Trudes]

Surprisingly (being a short arse) the Belstaff cordura pants I bought a few years ago fit perfectly, couldn't believe my luck! However everything else I've tried have been miles too long.... that's why I got a pair of custom made leather pants from Quasi about a year ago, can't beat it, fit like a glove!

I've got a pair of bike pants that are "short leg" currently in my draggins today but later on I'll find out what my regular bike pants are and tell you the brand.

I got them from cycletreads anyway.
