Overpants

I bought some FirstGear overpants the other day for the cold weather that's coming. I'm a size 30 or smaller, so I bought the smallest size they had for FirstGear (size 30). They fit ok around, but they are so long. The knee pad covering is over my shin. When I put my boots on, that pushes them up a little, but I still wish they were a little shorter in length.

Anyone else have this problem? Or know of a better brand that might fit correctly?

Re: Overpants

take them to a tailor, i am also short and i have the icon automag leather overpants, took them to a tailor they shortened them perfectly. on the icon pant you can move the knee pads up if needed. they give a long strip of velcro in the pant leg to give adjustability. the tag on them says "cut to fit" this is cause you can always take off material but cant add. i guess it helps keep costs down too for icon they dont have to make many diff lengths...

Re: Overpants

Can you really have pants of that material tailored? That's great if you can. I wouldn't have thought so though.
