gaijindrifter 0 Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 I've been looking around in my local stores (Himalaya and a small private board shop) and have tried on TONS of different types of snowboard pants but can't find any with a good fit. I'm 186cm with a waist/hip measurement of about 78/85 or so and all the pants I've tried of reasonable length have waist measurements of 100 or so. Even with a full base layer on I don't think I'm more than 95 even in the hip area. Maybe it's just the brands I'm trying, so if anyone has any suggestions for wear that is tall/thin friendly I'd greatly appreciate it! Link to post Share on other sites

mitchpee 10 Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 I know the North Face Freedom pant has a longer fit, but I am not sure if that is the style you are looking at. You may want to check out Special blend pants, they fit quite a bit longer but they tend to fit baggy too, definitely try some on. Link to post Share on other sites
Slippery Jim 65 Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Having struggled with the same issue for many years, I can tell you that you basically are SOL. Get used to baggy pants until you can make a trip abroad to buy. Thankfully, I no longer have that problem courtesy of a hearty appetite. Link to post Share on other sites
