Extra long tights?

[Usehernamegood]

Hi, I'm a 30/ 32" waist and 34" leg. I've got both Muddyfox and Tenn tights - size medium. The Muddyfox are fine but the Tenn are about 4 inches too short. Does anyone have any suggestions where I can get the length without being too big around the waist?

Hi,

I am 6ft 0, 34" waist (33 when fit) & have 33" leg (34" dependent on manufacturer)

My newest tights are Ale' brand ... Edit. Size Large (Italian) & are longer than advertised (sent my normal XL size back).

I also have Sportful 'No Rain' bib tights which are generous in length compared to most (XL)

Castelli (Italian) are quite short for reference in comparison. (XL)

None are very cheap, but reasonable at sale prices from wiggle, evans etc.

Gore stuff is long generally

Depends on your budget really - Gore are like around £70, might find good deals if hunt especially now it's spring

I should probably mention that I'm 6ft 2, 70kg and 30/ 32" waist. Budget isn't really an issue, ideally cheaper would be better but I'm willing to pay that bit more to get a good fitting pair of tights!

IF your card will stand it, I'd just order a few from wiggle and return those that are no good. Collect+ returns and they refund swiftly to carc

Variations on a theme, have a sizing guide

DHB stuff comes up quite long, as does Altura.

Just buy a pair of over shoes to hide the shortfall in the tights . If anyone questions it just say its aero
