I'm after a pair of stealthy, smart, nice fitting troosers for my commutes. I have fairly long legs (34" inseam/34"-ish waist), Endura don't make them long enough unfortunately. What else should I be looking at?
Not bothered about waterproofness, lightweight and quick drying preferred.
cheers.

Try the Surface ones - the clothing side of Charge. Evans used to stock them. I have pair of shorts and a hoodie picked up in a sale and they are nice, but with 34" legs, you may be struggling.

I wear some craghopper kiwi trousers in black, they aren't cycling specific, but are fairly windproof and comfortable with loads of pockets. I just wear lycra shorts or 3/4 tights underneath depending on the temperature, reccomended.

Altura do cycling trousers at a very reasonable price.
I never bother with cycling trousers; firstly they're never long enough (34" inside leg like you) and secondly they're always too hot.

Current winter wear is tights or (like today) lycra shorts + leg warmers with waterproof shorts over the top. Don't care what I look like but it keeps me warm and dry!

Rohan Trailblazers and a pair of Respro cycle bands. The Trailblazers come in a long fitting, have articulated knees and are in the sale on the Rohan site.
