steve d Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Any skinny short ***** out there recommend me some decent trousers? My Haglofs rugged mountain in XS short leg length are no longer being made, the new colour for next year is a brownish colour and wont be available in the short leg length. I dont want overtrousers, just something that fits and is relatively waterproof in 28 or 30 waist and 29" leg. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 (edited) Had the same problem with Pinewood. Spoke to the importer who arranged to bring in just one pair of shorter length which cost. Whereas 31" appears to be the norm in the UK, but for some reason anything below 33" from Scandinavia is like hens' teeth. With hindsight, as I never want the bottom strap system, it would have been far more economical to just by the 33" length and get them shortened and at the same time getting rid of the damned bottom adjustment. other than that, I'm well pleased with them.

I need to move to Scandinavia then... 33" is minimum length for me - ideally 34" fits perfect. It's torture trying to buy trousers locally. I'm only 6'1".

It's torture trying to buy trousers locally. I'm only 6'1". Ridgeline pintail are 34" i think, also the Fjallraven Barents are raw length at 37" according to the retailer i spoke to on saturday, so that you can have them finished to the correct length. My problem with these though is the Barents would need 15" cut off them so the thigh pockets would be in my wellies Not quite sure how the pintails work though as they have 3 zips so you can have 29", 32" or 34" lengths?
