    Default Rainpants for tall people

    So the last item I need to get for my AT hike is a set of rain pants. The problem is I'm 6'6" with a 36" waist and 36" inseam (at least thats my normal jeans size). Anyone out there have any suggestions for a pair of lightweight rain pants that would be long enough?

    I'm pretty sure anti-gravity gear makes their rain pants based on the dimensions you give them. I cannot attest to their quality, but I've been looking at them myself since I have the opposite problem. A 29" inseam.

    I'm 6'5", and use Frogg Toggs, and I have plenty of length. My waist is a bit bigger than yours tho, but they come w/ a drawcord.

    Here's antigravity gear link. http://www.antigravitygear.com/antig...ain-pants.html

    I just ordered my rain suit custom made. I needed extra length in both the arms and legs. You give them your measurements and they will make it. They spent much time with me via email getting it just right. Highly recommended.

    These might work. Beans is the only maker/seller of a full line of clothes fot the tall.

    Dry ducks suits are extra long in the pants and arms.

    Hey IH, 6'5" here and 220 lbs with a 36 inch waist and 36 inseam. Mountain Hardware Cohesion rain pant at 130 bucks or the Epic rain pant at 99 bucks. I have both and they drag on the ground!! Really, nice length to both. 12 oz. You won't look goofy in your highwaters. You will look cool!!! Kevin
