Picked up today from Parcelforce...unfortunately the legs are a bit too long, might have to get them taken up above the knee by 2 inches - anyone know a good place to send them to..?

Try them on the bike Nadeem...mine are too long walking but perfick when straddling the beasty

 

[nadeem]

will do so tomorrow Bill....I tried them in a sitting down position and they felt too long...

Nadeem, my Aerostich is too long in the leg, but as Bill says, when you're sat on your bike, the legs always rise up a little, so having the leg length too long is, IMO, a good thing.

Thanks guys, tried it today and it feels good ...even with my legs bent on the bike it's just slightly too long - the knee pad sits starts about an half an inch under the top of my knee...

Out of interest, what did you get screwed for on import duty, VAT and "handling fees"? What did customs categorise the suit as? The don't always get the right classification meaning you could potentially save some money by appealing.

£129.12 inc. the handling fees of £13.00...

That's about right. I calculated £125 a few months back.
