Hi
Trying to find some textile trousers is becoming a bit of a challenge.
Problem is I'm a bit short in the leg department. Nothing in the hein gerricke ranges fit and the smallest size in the halvarssons ZEN range (which I really liked) are too big. Waist size would be in the 32-34 inches however my inside leg measurement is 28 -29 inches. My budget was up to £250 and would prefer trousers with a liner for the cooler months , waterproof and windproof.
Let the short arsed piss take begin:D but any suggestions as to any suitable trousers would be appreciated.:beerjug:
Thanks
Peter
 
Rukka do most of their stuff in s, r and l leg lengths - so you could get a 34S for example.
Their "fits everything" trouser is called the Unit. Costs about £350 over here but you'll get it for your budget or less via one of the big bike shops on German eBay. This is exactly what I did - long as you use the huge ones you're fine.
Brilliant trouser, although not vented (v breathable though). Only thing is they're quite tight fitting in the crotch which, if you're shorter in the leg, might lead to reach issues.
Try a pair on at a dealer until you get the right size.
 
You are the same size as I am, and I have Dane Tondor trousers, a review of which can be found below.

Lo-IQ of this parish can supply them.

I wore them recently, along with the matching Jacket for 8 hours, during which time it pissed rain continually and I was totally dry.

Can't recommend them highly enough, and Lo-IQ is a great guy to deal with.:thumb2
 
My Hein Gerike Cruise II Goretex pants are 36 waist / 29 leg and fit perfectly. They do some of their range in short, fat tosser sizes.....
