Trouser length ..

[Taff]

I prefer the knee protectors to be on my knees when they hit the ground - I don't really care where they are when I'm riding!

Mmmm fair point, but if the knee protectors aren't in the right position when you're sat on the bike, you won't have time to adjust them to the right position if you have an off.

The knee part actually fit better on the shorter trouser whilst you kinda have to drag the knee protector up on the regular length.

You need to see a doctor mate - your knees are in the wrong place. When I bought my first proper bike trousers they fitted perfectly when I tried them on in the shop. It only took 1 minute sat on the bike though to realise I'd made a mistake, as the knee pads had ridden up about 3" as soon as I sat down. Luckily, they fitted the wife a treat.

Trousers from £170 with a special offer this month of a jacket thrown in. Had mine since 1997 and couldn't be better pleased. I can't be doing too badly as they still fit perfectly, 34 waist 36 leg, same as when I was 20.
