Apart from the small pockets I can’t fault the Madison Flux trousers. They’re properly comfortable to wear and perform well on the bike.

Any recommendations for trousers similar to these that fit the gentleman with bigger thighs?

As a man with mahoosive thighs I find the XXL ones fit me just fine.

Have to disagree about the fit around the ankle , I ordered a pair , they definitely have excess material that could potentially get caught in the chainring if like me you are still running a 2 X drivetrain .

The Madison Roam looks similar but different. I’m tempted by both. I’ve got some very similar Fox trousers which these look like a copy of and they’re my favourite bit of kit.

The Alpkit mtb troos are cut baggier in the thighs

Cheers @Ben P, will look at the Alpkit ones. @hatter, my main problem is usually if I get a pair that’s big enough for my thighs they’re too big for my waist (which isn’t that small).

they look well too flappy at the cuff. expect double flappage when wet too. can you still buy cycle clips!?

Obviously I’m not everyone but if the cuffs were any tighter on mine I wouldn’t be able to get my feet through them, there’s no chance of getting them caught on the chain.

Endura? I have a couple of pairs of different models and they are generous in the thigh.

And typical of Endura, my medium Endura trousers are fine around the waist but a little tight around the thigh. 😀

Whats the leg length like per sizing? I’m proportionally short above the waist for my height (read that how you will) and getting trousers long enough for my waist size can be a real pain (32W/34L)

Altura used to make trousers with a pop-down hem to gain those essential extra 2″ on a medium size. But no-one else seems to.

gentleman with bigger thighs?

yep thats me. I’ve got these https://www.decathlon.co.uk/p/all-mountain-mtb-bottoms/_/R-p-309674 buy 2 pairs as they’re well cheap.

I can’t fault them, I’m sure someone will be along to do just that in a minute but for the money I think they are great. Comfy, pretty waterproof, not too sweaty, look pretty decent I(MO) & Cheap.

My legs are pretty normal and have never noticed them being baggy around the ankles.
Still dont understand why the pockets are so small though. my other trousers pockets are similar. not sure why.

@ir_bandito – I’m a 32w 34l too. Alpkit floe troos in medium long is OK (their other stuff is generally too short). Keela roadrunners OK too. Haglofs troos also good. Everything else is much more mixed

thanks @benp1
I’ve got some Revolution Nordwand Pro trousers which are really nice, although a bit snug on the knee for anything above a low-profile pad. They have a lace-hook to stop them riding up too.
