Shorts for skinny legs?

[rolfrae]

Anyone recommend a bib short that's good for tall blokes with skinny legs? I've struggled for years to find any that have a decent fit. I've a 28 inch waist so have to go for a size small but because I'm tall (six foot 2) the legs are usually so short they only come halfway down my quads. I'm sick of wearing lycra hotpants!

Just imagine you are Sean Yates.

That is euro pro!
It is only us podgy MAMILs that have to wear shorts that go to the bottom of the quad, I want shorter knicks

Lol. You could wear knee-warmers to cover the rest of your quads. Otherwise I geuss youll have to pay for some custom made knicks. Ouch!

I'm 6ft 2in with skinny legs, and I've got a pair of Giordana bib shorts (old Cofidis kit) and they are quite good. I wear size XL (my waist hovers between 30 and 32) and they cover my legs quite well, but aren't too long. I haven't found any other brand that fits as well.

My waist is that size too

Thanks, I might try those. Either that or HGH and steroids to build up my legs!

When I wear knee warmers with my current shorts they barely cover my knees when I pull them up to meet the seam of my shorts. Need to get myself some shorter legs!

One man's leg warmers are another man's knee warmers.

I have a similar problem, as I'm not able to find a comfortable skinsuit. In jerseys I usually take a large, but in shorts a medium is just small enough.

Anyone tried aero tech design cyclewear? I’ve ask some local folks and they recommended this. I’ve had the same problem, and can’t seem to find the perfect fit. It’s always either too short or the waist doesn’t hug properly. I’ve checked their website and found out that they have a specific for tall cyclists. They cost a good 60usd. I would appreciate thoughts on this one. Thanks!
