Tall bloke problems
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) :( |
Re: Tall bloke problems
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 Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk |
Re: Tall bloke problems
I have the same problem, usually use gaitors over boots/inside trousers to make up the shortfall.

Re: Tall bloke problems
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.

Re: Tall bloke problems
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 |
Re: Tall bloke problems
At least you don't have to consider bosoms too.

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 :) |
Re: Tall bloke problems
