Longest of the longest leg pants?

Hi All,
I've recently bought my touring bike and am trying to find some decent quality all purpose ADV touring jacket and pants.

I can get a jacket to fit, but as I take a 36" leg I'm having trouble getting a trousers to fit.

I'm interested in Rukka or BMW gear, I'm only going to buy this once and the gear needs to be warm, waterproof and with decent armour.

However a UK stockist said that the longest leg Rukka do is 34" , is this true?

Does anyone know of a suitable pair of motorbike pants of sufficient quality?
Thanks
Ronan

There are one or two places that do this sort of size.

JTS Biker Clothing, Motorcycle Clothing, Motorbike Clothing, Leathers, Waterproofs, Jackets, Gloves, Boots, Helmets

Motorcycle Pants | Motorcycle Protective Clothing


The mainstream stuff is aimed at the majority market, so if you're not "average" then you struggle !!

BMW offer long leg & long arm versions of several of their suits. All BMW dealers have a catalogue explaining the sizes, look for sizes with three digits rather than two.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
