I'm 6'1 and need some outdoor trousers for walking / scrambling. Normal lengths are way too short and even a few of the apparently longer lengths don't really work. I normally take a 36 inch inside leg but could compromise on a 34" for outdoors. Does anyone know of any brand that would work?

Cheers

Cheers folks.

Rohan don't fit me; I've tried them before and it's a strange cut.

Girlymonkey - too kind!

Skol - I'll take a look, cheers

Andymac - Good, er, tip.

Paramo do different leg lengths on at least some of their women's kit. Although, again, the fit can be a bit strange!

George Fisher in Keswick had a small section of women's trousers in long leg length, because I ended up in that section by mistake - if you phoned them up, they'd probably tell you what they stocked. I think it was a TNF pair I was looking at, but there were maybe two or three brands. Needlesports stock some too, I think.

Blimey, you must have really long legs - I'm the same height as you and even 34" legs are getting a bit long.

Anyway, personal remarks aside, have you looked at the Rab range? They do different lengths in at least some of their women's stuff - the Helix might suit, for example:

I'm pretty sure Montane Terras will be too short as my mate has 34" inside leg and wears long Terras.

These guys do made to measure trousers using Nikwax Analogy (same stuff as Paramo) http://www.cioch-direct.co.uk They may be a bit warm for summer use, but they've got great ventilation, so fine for spring and autumn use. Great even when it's not raining.

Given the average height of Scandinavians and Dutch, I'd suggest looking to those markets for suitable trousers. Not familiar with any Dutch brands, but Haglofs, Norrona, Fjallraven, etc might do.
