Well I am a tall and skinny guy and have troubles finding some riding gear that fits. I like the type that goes over the boots and are long enough so that when I sit on the quad they don't go up to my knees. They don't actually go up that far but it sure feels like it. Does anyone know of a place that makes extra long riding pants?

there is a company called Phat cat racing i think they sell gear for tall and big people

I bet if you called any major gear company and told them your situation they could make you something for your size.

i'm 6'2 and I ride shift and it fits great. The ones I ordered were pretty big around the waste for me but I just use a belt. The newer ones you can't tho.

I used to have the same problem!!!!!! I have found the solution though............... put on about 50 or 60 pounds then you have to get pants that about 6 inches or so bigger in the waist than you used to wear. the bigger pants are long enough!!

Well I guess I will prbably just get some that have a bigger waist or probably call a couple places. I just got married in Jan so if the rumor is true I will probably be gaining a few pounds anyway:p Let's say this I am 6'2" or 3" and weigh about 150:(

I was in the same boat 6'2 150-160lbs i ended up getting SHIFT freeride style pants, i just got the waist one size to big. My older ones i could use a belt but the new ones u can't but i still dont have any trouble getting them tight. Nice thing also u can wear another layer underneath them when its a bit cold out.
