Tall bloke problems

[Chris_SVS]

I concede that it's pretty much winter and getting wet is a daily formality but I've been looking into waterproof overtrousers and/or 1piece waterproof suits.

I'm 6ft3,34inch+ inside leg and am struggling to size such products that fit properly and won't end up at my knees. Usual kit sizes are Large jacket and 33L trousers(usually the longest I can find)

:(

I'd stay away from a 1 piece, I had one from hein gericke and after L the neck to crotch size was the same which is a bit pointless as that's the bit I needed bigger and not to look like those inflatable waving arm things!

I use a jacket and trousers now and it's much more convenient for me, though I spend most of my time in my textiles so not really needed any more.

Don't know the sizes and I'm probably not as long in the leg but I hth

I have the same problem, usually use gaitors over boots/inside trousers to make up the shortfall.

I struggle and I'm a short woman. My leathers are a 32 leg. I found one piece suits too short in the leg and baggy in the body. I ended up going to a hikers shop ad's buying a jacket and trousers that's go over my leathers.

And 6'3 isn't even that tall, I work with lots of men 6'5 to 6'10. At least there's always someone around to get things down off high shelves for me.

A few guys in work make me look short :p For me its not as much overall height but proportion, long leg stuff seems to mostly exist in sizes well above L/XL which are waay too big in the waist. Cycling kit sizing kills me too

Ive bought a pair of Richa rain warrior to see how they go, sized 1up but 34 in leg

At least you don't have to consider bosoms too.

34" leg.

Tip:
I re-waterpoof my gloves/boots and jackets etc using either clear "Back To Black" type silicone based dashboard spray(same as camping shop stuff but way cheaper from Supermarkets) or GT85 clear chain lube/spray.Yes it works brill and doesn't rot the stitching :)

[Chris_SVS]

All good looking suggestions, will take a proper look on a big screen later. Thanks :)

[R1ffR4ff]

Excellent will take a proper look on big screen later

This one I posted looks good for the price and I like the half-leg zipper thing for getting over boots,

Have you tried any Dutch or German suppliers, Dutch men are statistically the largest in the world

I have the opposite problem being somewhat of a poisoned dwarf, anyway JTS offer different leg lengths. I've bought leather trousers from them (extra short!) and like them. They are a budget range (ie cheap) but I've not had any problems.

They do textile/waterproof trousers in long and freakishly long :) sizes which, they say, is 35-36 inch leg length.

They will do the job :D My current kit cost less than £100 a set, the only letdown is the leg length (33in) when wearing army boots on wetter days, the jackets are so far very good,I've even crashed in one

Quite possibly, I'll see how the Richa overtrousers fit first.

Good shout on back to black :D
