need advice for my wife, she needs 3/4 waterproofs after this weekend just gone. She is small however 5'2 so does anyone have any advice?
Surely a pair of normal length shorts would be 3/4 length on Jen... ;o)
I'd probably suggest, as she is a dab hand with a needle and thread, that getting some army surplus goretex trousers off ebay and then modifying them would be her best bet... and the cheapest. And she can go for the oh so fashionable camo style!
As for shop bought ones, we have Endura Superlights and Altura Attacks at home... both are just past the knee sort of length, and they both work well at keeping us dry. The Attacks are definitely on the narrower cut though and I think are more designed to be worn directly over lycra whereas the Superlights seem to be slightly baggier as if designed to be worn over baggies.
I use the Gore Alp X ones but they are not 3/4 length on me, more knee length. Gore certainly do very small sizes but would suggest you Google for these as I have seen them reduced, although can't remember where.
Expensive yes but good quality and do work. You can't wear baggies under them though.
