    If you need overtrousers and price is not your main priority, buy 2 and lengthen one of them.
    And you will also have extra pair of waterproof overshorts! :rotfl:

    We've just had this problem for my OH and his inside leg is 33/34 so I know how hard it is to find a decent fit. We got him XL which is not perfect as he's of medium build but the Sprayway pants have an elasticated waist that is not fixed to the waistband so I can shorten the elastic.

    You could try Berghaus Paclite. Their XXL is 36 inside leg but obviously they may be huge on you. Lowe Alpine have 36" inside leg on their XL, Karrimoor 35" inside leg on XL, Sprayway 36" on XL etc.....!

    For a review on whatever trousers to go for try here


    I have the opposite problem.....short legs and everything's too long for me :o
    Just run, run and keep on running!

  • Have you tried your local motorbike shop?

    Waterproof bike trousers always have long legs
    I want to...........?
