Poster: A snowHead
|
I am having problems finding pair of soft shell "pants" (why have we gone all American for skiwear but not other types of lower limb enclosure?). I thought my criteria were quite straightforward but have tried a number of different makes and cannot find anything that suits. :
1) available in a short leg (29 - 30in)
2) reasonably close fitting to lessen chance of the bottoms catching edges when skinning or using crampons
3) prefereably with reinforced cuffs for when the above happens anyway.
I am getting fed up trekking back to Post Office to return stuff.
Does anyone have any recommendations?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Thanks SP.
I had a look but the Dynafit medium "short" combines a 34in waist with a 38" inch inside leg!! "Regular" is a mere 40in. Now, I have been to Austria many times but have not noticed that a significant proportion of the population have the morphology of a giraffe! I am sure this cannot be right but will need to find a retailer where I can actually try a pair on.

Rab Exodus....brilliant soft shell pants designed for touring...I wear them more than my hardshell/insulated even in poor conditions....not sure whether they do a short leg....you are supposed to wear them high/Simon Cowell style...
