Question: Who makes 36" inseam bibs with a 35" waist?

The manufacturers use the square method. When inseam goes up so does the waist. I'm not built that way and don't intend to put on 100# just to fit their bibs.

I have used custom made bibs for the last 14 years and would think about upgrading them if I could find something that fits. I don't want baggy and I don't want short legs. I'm looking for a 36" inseam and about a 35" waist, full length leg zippers, light insulation.

Any suggestions?
 
From what I have seen Klim "tall" sizing is the best trim full height gear I've seen to date.
Got a few buddies that wear the Large tall sizing and it always fit suprisingly good. The gear is the least baggy to start so even if you do end up slightly oversized on it, your not going to be drowning in lbaggey gear.
 
Yeah, I got a smokin' deal on a set of "tall" klim bib's at RMS's fall clearance. Took them to a local retired seamstress who has a bunch of experience with snow gear and had the length shortened 3 inches to about a 33". They fit like a glove, and I'm into them for under $200. Funny how the fit changes within the same apparel line
 
I have the Klim Togwotee Bibs in XL Tall and they fit good. I'm a 36" inseam and 34-36" waist. The sad part is only a few companies make anything to fit tall people. I have had trouble finding clothes that fit. I like to try things on before spending money on high dollar items. Boots are the same way 13-14 boots are always hard to find in stock. It also seems like each companies stuff fits different even in the same sizes.
 
look on there web page they have a size chart im thinking mine are LT or XLT im 6'4"

let us know on the boots my oldest grandson is in a 15 and is only 14 YO .
 
I had a pair of HMK Voyager BOA boots in a size 17. Miserable boots for my feet.

I replaced them with a pair of LaCrosse Alpha Thermal size 16 as that is the largest they make in that model. Decent boot but the bottom is not insulated, stupid designers so I added a foil faced felt liner in the bottom and they are pretty nice now. Super tall so I can wade out into the snow or low water and the bibs stay covering the boots. The overall dimension of the boot is much smaller than the HMK so it hangs up less in the footwell or wedged in the tapered running board. FXR makes a boot up to size 15. I bought my daughter a pair a while back and she likes them.

As for bibs, I'm curious about a FLY Incline bib. LT meets my size specs but not sure how they perform. Not sure I'll hit up a snow show this fall so I would be limited to chance that a local dealer might have something to look at.

Try them on if at all possible, or find a site with a good return/exchange policy. I recently ordered a pair of FLY SNX Insulated Pants in an XL. I could barely get them on, let alone try to ride in them. My current HMK pants in an XL have room to spare. I wear a 36x34 jean.

FWIW, I did like the construction of them. They appeared a nice product. Of course that's only surface deep.

This was my only hands-on experience with FLY, so take it for what it's worth.
