 Poster: A snowHead

Despite being six foot tall, my inside leg measurement is 31inches. This means most ski pants on sale in a large have legs that are at least a couple of inches too long.
Can anyone recommend somewhere I can get ski pants shortened. Ta!

Yeah with my stubby legs i always have to hoik them up to stop them getting caught in the binding.
So would also be interested.
Would that iron on stuff work?

The issue is all that with all the gaiter and stuff at the bottom the trousers will need to be shortened by taking a section out of the calf section but still maintaining the waterproofing. I don't think I am that unusual a shape and I have never really had a problem with anything other than ski pants, they just don't seem to have any variation much in lengths.

Make sure you get a professional to do it.
You don't want them to accidentally release.

We I had some done, we left the gaiter alone (as that holds itself on the boot) and only shortened the outer leg from the bottom: no effect on zips or waterproofness. I think it cost about £10-£15 max. Taking something out mid-leg will be a *lot* more difficult/expensive.

jbob, http://www.tundra-repairs.co.uk/
Were very helpful when I enquired about getting a pair mended, trouble is I took them back to France and forgot, but they were recommended by someone else on here.

Tundra went out of business and Scottish Mountain Gear bought some of their assets. I've used SMG and they provide a good service, but haven't used another company so can't compare.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

The other option would be Lancashire Sports Repair, LSR have a great reputation with the outdoors community.

@jbob, keep an eye out for "Bergens of Norway" product deals (SportPursuit, etc) as they do some of their range in a short & long version of the standard (31/32/33 ?guess?), got the short version of their Stranda pants and they are perfect.

Buy a short leg? Many of the brands out there now do a normal length and short length - Ortovox and Spyder to name two from memory
