Pants for short guys

Olythom · Apr 11, 2015

I'm just getting back into the world of commuting on motorcycles after a very long layoff. I've read through quite a few threads and haven't found a solid answer to...

What pants would you recommend for a guy who is a 36 waist and a 29 inseam? I've tried a couple and have run into problems with pants too long, knee pads that ride too low, etc.

I'm in western Washington so extreme cold is not really an issue. Riding is primarily a 30 minute commute each way. I am, mostly, looking for armor and waterproofing that will fit over jeans.

Check out Olympia. Their pants are made to be shortened and hemmed. Need to make sure enough adjustment for knee armor after adjusting cuff length.

Revzilla is a good site for information ( and buying). Lots of choices.

I'm short and stout. First gear Kathmandu worked for me. I also have a pair of Klim Dakar pants that I had hemmed. I really like those....but they don't come with liners. I wear the first gear when the temps get into the thirties or I'm worried about a lot of rain.

Thanks. I'll look at those this week.

You should be able to custom order aerostitch suits or pants.
