Does anybody know a brand that does extra long tracksters

No, I'm still using a couple of sets that I bought about 10 years ago
from a small company called "4runnners" which made very cheap trackster
copies (among other things) and had an extra-long size. I think the
company went bust in the late 90s.

Fortunately, they show no signs of wearing out.

Over the winter I use Ron Hill tracksters or similiar for cycling and
running. For the last few years the XL sizes for all the makes I've
tried seem are too short.I'm 6 ft 3 so fair enough its a small market
segment but there must be other people with the same problem.

I have a pair that have now done 3 winters of commuting (and often working if I can't be bothered to change). They were very short when I got them so I just cut the foot loops off and they are fine.

Nope, sorry, I'm 6'3" too, and mine are too short. But this reminds
me to pass on an irritation with a current pair in case anyone is
shopping for tracksters.

They have a drawstring and toggle at the bottom of the legs -
very useful for keeping flapping trouser legs out of the chainrings,
but the toggle is on the *inside* of the leg, so it clunks against
the bike with every revolution. Quite annoying - I'll stick to
elasticated bottoms in future!

the leg grippers in your shorts will keep
them up,you can get legwarmers in varing
sizes,hope it's useful to you.

I am six feet two inches tall and have had no trouble finding cycling tights
to fit. My tracksters are a little too short though so I generally prefer
proper cycling attire.

See thread on Aldi - the only criticism I have of their tights is being
rather long. They were still in stock today (saturday) (but pedals sold
out. Bother)

Edinburgh still had /loads/ of pedals today.

Unfortunately, only 5 or 6 pairs of shoes, and all of those were size
42 or 43.

Ah well - I'll start experimenting with 'real cycling' (tm) some other
time...

You could follow me and just use shorts all year. I got fed up with being wet and my skin is waterproof!! Well mostly.
