hi.

 

i am 6"4 with a 32" inside leg. the xl trousers dont seem to be long enough on the sites, i will be buying online so trying isnt really an option. what are my fellow lanky riders using? i have a set of leathers that just about fit me but the sliders are a little too high, seeing as i am riding my trials bike more than my road bikes now i would like something that fits properly.

 

not fussed about make or colour just something thats good.

 

cheers all.

Im 6'2 and recently bought a set of jitsie (jacky brown to be specific) and they fit me pretty well, probably better than any previous gear ive owned. The shirt (M) is a little weird fitting, tight sleeves loose chest, but the trousers (34) are pretty spot on. Others have said they find the jitsie fitting kind of weird, maybe its suited to the taller rider, i dont know.

I,m 6'3, I also wear jitsie trousers, they are still short on the leg, but you don't notice, once your boots are on. I'm a 36" waist so I bought the xxl, they fit good.

 

MX clothing tends to be a bit bigger fitting and a bit longer on the leg.
