Missus Stray has the problem of being 6' and finding stuff long enough, however the BMW unixsex range fits perfectly. Glove wise no problems.

Yep, my problem too as I'm 6'2" tallStraydog wrote:Missus Stray has the problem of being 6' and finding stuff long enough, however the BMW unixsex range fits perfectly. Glove wise no problems.
hmy: My current textile trousers are from Canada. Although nice and long, warm, dry and bomb proof they are also rather too large around the waist. I can't win!

The only thing I really struggle with is boots, the fitting around the calf muscle. 
I'm not big not by any means but I do have strong legs with all the walking and riding I do.
Any suggestions ladies? What do you wear?

Alpinestars are the widest around the calves.
Don't touch Thor boots , they're about as wide around the calf as the ankle!

"The trails of the world be countless, and most of the trails be tried.
You tread on the heels of many, till you come where the ways divide.
And one lies safe in the sunlight, and the other is dreary and wan, Yet you look aslant at the Lone Trail, and the Lone Trail lures you on....
....Bid good-bye to sweetheart, bid goodbye to friend, The Lone Trail, the Lone Trail, follow to the end.
Tarry not, and fear not, chosen of the true;
Lover of the Lone Trail, The Lone Trail waits for you"

Unless I have a pair specially made or there's a brand out there who caters for larger calves (Rugby players suffer from this issue too I hear) I tend to stick to ankle boots as my pants have sewn in armour on the shins.Duchess wrote:The only thing I really struggle with is boots, the fitting around the calf muscle.

A lot of the kit she wears is for males.
