I need to buy some cycling trousers for touring use. So something breathable/hardwearing/waterproof (if possible)... you know the deal.

However, being 6'5 poses a bit of a problem when buying any trousers, and as usual I'm having trouble finding a pair that have long enough legs to fit me.

So I was just wondering if there are any other tall people out there who have any recommendations?

I haven't bought any trousers but as a general rule the Altura stuff tends to be a good fit for the taller person, I have a couple of jerseys and jackets by them and they are plenty long enough in the sleeve which is probably an issue for you too?

That's good to hear; I'm going to try on a mates Altura altitides tommorrow, so hopefully they might do the trick.

Arm length is a bit of a bugger too, yeah.

Let me know how you get on

Why not take a look at Suguoi stuff? They are a Canadian company so used to catering for 'big' people.

Tim; the Alturas I tried on seemed to fit reasonably well. They were the old 'Ascent' model (now discontinued), so it's just a case of finding some now...

daftpunk, Suguoi stuff does definately sound worth a look, but there's no shops near me that stock it. Because of my height I always have to try stuff on before I buy, so unfortun ately I think I'll have to give it a miss :(
Good suggestion though.

Do you have a DECATHLON near you ?

Some of there hiking trousers may suite you as there is a wider range of sizes available. I have some from there and there perfect for riding.

Again, unfortunately no Decathlon near me. However, at least I know what to keep an eye out for if I'm in an area with the right shops, so thanks for the suggestions.

My LBS are trying to order in some of the Altura Ascents, so hopefully that's sorted now.

I'm 6'3" and I have more than my fair share of legs. IME I found the offerings from Decathlon look like I've borrowed my little brothers clothes!
