Looking at buying some DH pants or similar long legged bottoms. The one thing i would like to know if anybody knows were i can get a pair from that have a 35" inside leg. I struggle to buy tracksuit bottoms so wondering if i will have the same sort of issue with cycling pants.

thanks

    Probably - depends how 'big' your waist is.
    Troy Lee have longer length DH pants, but their 35" inseam equates to a 40" waist.
    Sombrio's XXLs are 35" inseam with a 38-40" waist.

    (If I were you, I would go for 3/4 shorts and rely on shin/knee pads to keep your legs warm.)

    Edit - could try AlpineStar pants - they look to be longer legged/thinner around the waist:

    thanks for the reply.

    about a 36" waist but i'm sure the 38/40 waist would be ok. will have a look.

    thanks
