    What a hottie

    I have the Joe Rocket 5.0 Ballistic textiles (I have a true 32" inseam and the women's are plenty long for me)....they are a few model years old, but if you can find a place that carries them, or call for sizing, they may be long enough for you.

    Good luck.

    Re: Overpants

    So I worked on a chart so I can see what brand to start with and thought I would share it here. These are for textile only as the inseams vary from suits, leathers, rain and textile wear. I know it is still missing some brands, and I know it is not formatted well, but it gets the job done...I can see what brands would or would not work for me right off the bat. IE...no way can I get Firstgear pants...

    Re: Overpants

    I have the Joe Rocket 5.0's also.

    It wasn't long before the stitching on the pockets started to pull out. I got a year out of them before the leg zips failed. Had them replaced with heavy duty metal zips. Then the crotch zip blew out. Replaced. Side adjuster tab ripped off. Rear elastic panel started to shred. The material and armor is good, but the construction sucks.

    Have you tried Aerostich? They do custom alterations to their suits. They are more pricey, but from people I know who have Aerostich stuff, the gear lasts. Darien pants are on my wish list.

    I think the solution is clear... All you have to do is get your waist size up to 34". A strict deep fried diet should get you there

    I have those, but I was looking for something for cold weather riding that are waterproof. Those leak like a mother because of the zippered section over the mesh.

    I have had mine for 2 seasons...and they are falling apart.

    Re: Overpants

    Jane,
    I think you need to take a ride up to MotoMarket in Acton and see what Paul has. We've got most of our stuff there (if we're not sure of the size) and Mary wears an older pair of Motoport overpants we bought years ago there. It's matched up with a Textile Rev-it jacket (with I think is the best stuff out there now, if not on the pricey side)
    Good luck,
    Steve

    Re: Overpants

    I purchased the tourmaster flex pants and like them! They are a little baggy and I wonder if the knee armor will stay put in a crash, but the pants are very versatile. Basically you get 4 pants in 1 (great temp range) and they're easy on/off.
