tall pants

Quoted message said:

My daughter (high school track and cross country runner) is a size 2 with a 35" inseam. Standard
womens size look like capri pants. Anyone know of a source for looong inseam loose fitting (not
like tights) similar to nylon adidas wind pants? Don't care about brand or price especially.

Eastbay would be one. Track and field doesn't have that many large (tall) females, but look at
places that carry clothing for other sports like volleyball and basketball. From the standpoint of
team outfitting, very tall females (high jumpers in high school) sometimes wear men's warmups.

BTW, I'm 6'4", played football and basketball, as well as track, and my pant length is 32", so
you're talking about a taaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllll female!

I'm 5'8" with 32" blue jean inseam, but I'm *not* a size 2 in any measurement system (women's
clothes tend to have weird, inconsistent sizing, IMHO) 😉 I think men are *supposed* to have longer
torsos while women have longer legs - or at least that's what they pitch when fitting bikes. One of
those generalities, that's sometimes true.

/ outdoor clothes, esp. since some manufacturer's still don't make

clothes. However, looking at the men's sizes that would get up to a 35" inseam, puts it at something
much larger than a size 2 women's.

Nathan, FWIW, I use Sporthill's XC pants, but they make some less expensive ones. My "women's L"
(but not long, I don't think) would probably work for someone with a 33 to 34, maybe even 35" inseam
(I've got slack in knee area). With stretch fabrics, you can get away with buying them a little
bulky without them looking too bulky. Your daughter would definitely need a smaller size, but these
do seem to run longer than many other brands I saw tonight. These are a pant, not a tight, but not
as loose as a nylon windpant. IIRC when I tried mine on, a large regular had similar fit to medium
tall (I wanted extra space for layering).

Inseam on Sporthill's XL Long women's XC relaxed fit pant is 34.75" (from clearance page)

Some other brands and stores (including one women's that has clothing of "all sizes"😉 I looked at
didn't even go up to 35" inseam, men or womens sizes.

If they are just being used for warmup, then some of the outdoor-type wind pants might work. All my
wind and/or rain pants are plenty long for
me. Some are mens, some womens.

Good luck.

Hmm, I'm a 33" inseam on a 6'1" frame - I'm painting an interesting picture. How much is airfare to
Alaska. 😉

Hell, leave it on. 🙂

but I'm *not* a size 2 in any

Maybe true but it's the thought of long legged women that conjures ........ thoughts. 😉

Thank you for the meaningful (and helpful) reply. I am 6' 4" and 35-36 inseam and always bought xl
running/warmup pants to get the inseam i wanted. (I have since "blossomed" to 220 and they fit
nice now) but she doesnt like the baggy look. Reebok makes what seems to be a copy of the
sporthill pants in 34.5" inseams also (womans tall) but again not the wind pants kind of thing. If
only sporthill storm pants came in womens ML :-( that is the kind of pants she is looking for. The
sporthill site has no xc pants in ML either. O well thanks for taking the time to reply with the
sporthill brand info. :-) nathan

If you have any stores near you that carry Sporthills, you might check to see what they actually
have, rather than depend strictly on web page. I got mine at a specialty running store, but later
found them at a number of outdoor stores, like REI. I'm also guessing, you'd have more luck there
than at some place like Footlocker or Sports Authority, at least based on things I've looked at or
tried on there (usually crappy quality or too short).

I noticed the Sporthill web page specifically said, no ML for the storm pants (whether that means
don't make or not in stock, I'm not sure), but for the xc, they just did not list ML in the size
selections (like out of stock). I'm almost certain that I tried on a ML in our local store, but went
with the L to allow space for layering. But I could be wrong. That's why I'm thinking some local
stores might have more in stock.

Hmmm, you're sounding like you're recovered from your fun mud run 😉

With one of your other posts, you had commented about being under blanket and watching tv - and
that's the first time I can remember in 2 yrs I've been here that that's *all* you were doing in
that position. I was going to make a comment about hypothermia treatment at the time, but decided to
give you a break 😉

Geez. I can't entice you up with the Susitna 100, the Iditarod Trail Invitational, OR Mt. Marathon
(3.1 mi round trip, 3000ft elevation gain in 1 direction), and now a pair of blue jeans has you
intrigued. Hmm, maybe you're not quite recovered 🙂
