I'm 6'1" with 33" trouser inside leg / 33" waist and am finding it hard to find any leg wear with a long leg where the a**e isn't hanging down. I don't like them skin tight but I seem to be XL size for leg length and M for waist so compromise seems inevitable.
Anybody else found a solution / receommendations?
If they are bibs I prefer those with a zip for those essential 'behind a hedge' moments ;-)

tvm for advice,

Al

    I am approximately your dimensions, more like a 34" waist this time of year however

    I have the following bib tights that fit

    Endura Clip longs size ? don't remember
    Gore Action Windstopper ( two versions) size XL. This exact type isn't made any more :(

    Cheap ones from Aldi did not fit

    I have exactly the same problem. Lusso bib tights in XL fit me perfectly.

    May the road rise up to meet you.
    May the wind always be at your back.
  • Thank you chaps I'll take a look at both of those.
    I expect we all have some problems with clothing as most of us have to buy Mail order with no 'try on' facilities.

    I imagine any of the DHB bibs will be perfect.

    I am 6ft 2in with 34in leg, size Medium DHB bibs are fine.

    The DHB fitting is slightly more generous and seems to be aimed at the more average sized cyclist not a pro super skinny cyclist as I've found with other brands. The sizing chart on the wiggle website is pretty accurate too.

    +1 for DHB - I find the leg length more generous that most I've tried.
