    X long trousers for women, any ideas?

    Just wondered since we all ride tall bikes if there are any other tall women on this site who can recommend a manufacturer who does X-long legged trousers?
    I've got some leathers which are a bit short & were fine for milder weather but its been a bit chilly so far this winter, and I'd like to get some really warm waterproof ones so I can be a bit less of a fair weather rider
    I know Rukka do with an extra 7cm, but I'm looking for something a bit less pricey. Ideally I'd like 35/36", and I looked at some men's but they just hung off me.
    Any tips ladies??

    Gericke do much of their range in an extra long leg version. Not sure if that extends to the ladies range but may be worth giving them a call.

    I have heard that JTS do large sizes, some of their kit is fairly cheap as well.

    Jem, I had the same problem. After weeks of looking, the only trousers I could find for a 35" leg were Ixon Atomic - and now apparently discontinued. Reasonably waterproof, decent summer and winter linings, annoying velcro ankles but good construction. I bought from GB2, but it looks like Beacon Rider Training has some in a sale for almost half price. I never did see any other trousers that long.

    I've gone bespoke for my leathers but I'm almost tempted to buy another pair of Atomics as backup as mine are looking rather second hand now.

    Thanks sunnybrook, have checked that out, they only have large & much larger
    I'll see if I can track any down elsewhere,
    I tell you its definitely a niche market waiting to be filled, must be quite a few long legged women out there only finding short trousers
