Does anyone make a cycling trouser, a la Endura Singletrack, which will fit 32" waist and 34" leg?
I'm not that much different to average, so why are all baggier trousers sized for the more rotund figure (ie 32" waist with a 30-32" leg). Long leg length especially more important for biking when they ride up.

Got a pair of older version - hardly worn due to erm, waist expansion but will fit 32"W 34" IL. £15 posted.

I am similar shape. Just got Army Surplus Goretex - working very well if you can get on with the non cycle specific cut and dodgy action-man-with-moving-eagle-eye type appearance. Waterproof and not too sweaty, and I have never minded how bad I look on the bike as long as gear is a) cheap, b) comfortable.

Do you want waterproof or just splash/shower proof material?

Altura long trousers?? I'm just about to put some on the classifieds, about a 36 waist and a 32 leg.

I think the OP will find that "regular" trouser sizing has a 32" inside leg.

Just remembered that the Alturas have an extendable leg, they have a pop studded section that gives about another 1 1/2" on the leg.

I had seen the Altura trousers and wondered which way the extend-able leg went, whether it made them shorter or longer, if you get my drift.
Andy - waterproof is useful, but equally just looking for plain long trousers.
Toxic - ygm (in a minute). I'll be interested to see how they fit as I want to get a pair (of new ones) as a birthday present for my bro-in-law.

Salomon clothing seems to be cut for your body shape, from my recollection, we had a bugger of a job shifting our zip off pants as they were very long in the leg.
