Ridden & Rated: 11 of the Best New Men's Riding Pants
I'm tall and have a pair of the 7Mesh Thunder Pants, so I'll pipe up...
6'4" / 235 lbs and I wear a 34 x 36" pant, but I'm probably closer to a 35" inseam. These pants work well, but the fit is messed up.
According to their size chart, I should be a L waist, but I had to go to an XL in order to fit my quads. (Which are bigger than normal, but not THAT big.) As a result, I have to cinch the waist in as far as possible, and I look like I'm wearing a full diaper when I'm not on the bike. Waist adjustments and pulling the pants up - because there are no belt loops - is pretty common during a ride. I'm thinking about going to a tailor and having them add belt loops...
I'd love a waterproof pant that didn't necessitate compromises!!!!
