What options are there?

Middle son has ‘sparrow legs’, is 6′ with 33″ inside leg and 26″ waist. He’s too self conscious to wear tights or shorts, so I’m helping him look for cycling trousers.

He’s road tourer and gravel, with occasional gentle MTB jaunts.

What’s out there?

Time to increase his rations?

No help here but at 6’4 and a 34″ waist I end up looking like I’m wearing shorts or mc hammer pants.

The ONeal Trailfinder Trousers are very good. I’m 32inch waist and 6:2ft (33inch inside leg), they fit me well:

The decathlon ones may work Matt, I’m a 32 waist and 33 leg and ended up in a large! So shall may be ok

Scandinavian brands. We are all tall, slim, fit and good looking here*

Try looking for cycling trousers or xc ski trousers

*2 of those are true

Thanks folks.

At present he wears Berghaus walking trousers – while they fit, they are loose in the leg. One idea we’ve had is to re-sew the lower leg. So @howsyourdad1 may also be in to something over other outdoor trousers.

Or maybe look at the more climbing-orientated trousers where they’ve deliberately snugged the lower leg so you can see what your feet are doing on the rock?

Hi, see my recent post on this. I ordered Troy Lee sprint trousers in the end but there were a few suggestions.

Actually the Decathlon trousers are pretty good value, bought some Fox ones a while ago (very limited choice) for a lot of money you get to advertise the brand with thier awful logos.

I got some dare 2 b walking trousers that are very skinny fitting – correct waist for me at 34 and my calves and thighs barely fit them and a lot of elasticity in them

I got them for much less from go outdoors. Might not be skinny enough – give the poor bugger some pies!

Keela Roadrunners/Scuffers come in a range of leg length/waist sizes so you might get something there.

the Decathlon AM may work – after years of waiting, I just received a pair on 2XLs. I was working on the basis that 2XL from Decathlon is normally just a little big – but better to have room to move.

These were asking tight. Supposedly for a 41-43 inch waist ( which I am not). The waist measures 35 inch …
The legs are around 32 inch and skin tight – so as they are way undersized they may work for him.

I have a similar problem, though maybe not as extreme, and I’ve found the trousers and shorts from Norrona fit really nicely with loads of adjustment to snug them up as needed.

I use the small Fjora Flex 1 trousers and Flex 1 light shorts, and I’m a 26in waist with 31in leg.

Same problem here Matt. Berghaus Extrem Fast Hike trousers come in a 28 waist 34 leg. The leg has a Velcro reducer at the ankle, a sort of self contained cycle clip. A bit pricey but work for me on and off the bike.

I have just checked and they have the blue ones in stock.

@AngusWells – indeed why we wear Berghaus trousers in this house. 3x of us in long leg (34″) and two in Short leg (29″), all with different waists…

I’ll look those ones out.
