OK. I need help.
I'm trying to find a pair of riding pants, but with these short little legs I have, I'm getting really frustrated. :mgbanghead:
I basically want something that can be worn either as a stand alone pant (with a light liner since we do mostly March-October riding) or as an overpant for when I want to wear them over jeans/work pants for riding into work.
I usually wear a 10 petite in jeans that measure about a 28 inch inseam. Most of the pants I've tried, if they fit in the waist, are way too long and/or way too big in the hips, thighs.
I've checked out pants at several of the bigger bike shops and have found nothing that is worth trying on to get an idea of where to go from there. I've looked at just about everything I can find online, but I'm hesitant to keep ordering/returning.
Suggestions? Please:confused2:

Boy when you find out let me know!! I'm a 12 petite shhh.....(after the holidays a 14) :eek: I wear my husbands old leather First Gear pants. Too long and with a "saggy butt" I only wear them because I'm told with my body type I have to have my pants custom made. I can't afford it! Hope you get some answers LittleRedRider! Can't wait for me to either loose the weight or find a pair of leathers that fit me like a glove. Neither of which I think will be easy! :roflmao:

I'm also a size 10 and fall somewhere between petite and regular length. I have a pair of BMW pants that have worked well for me, but they were the only ones in the shop that fit when I got them. And I tried everything including other BMW pants in the same size that didn't fit! :shrug:
