I've had lots of high gravity experience which has resulted in me being squashed a bit. The result is I'm a lot shorter and, er, more 'well built' than you are! I have a 29" inside leg and have never found any HG trousers that are short enough although I'm sure I spoke to someone on TOG's tour who had the same inside leg measurement and bought some HG trousers recently. Perhaps they've changed their range? If we get time I'll nip into their Maidstone branch tomorrow to have a look.

In the finest tradition of UKRM or recommending your own, my - now 10 years old! - RSR Millennium jacket is warm and dry (after re-proofing with NikWax) and also bearable in summer heat. The fact that they stopped trading in 2004 is a bit of a stumbling block, I admit. -- Rob_P UKRM(at)indqualtec.co.uk uppercase(d) BBIWYMC#1 BOG#11?

I've just bought a HG "King" suit in the fattest size they do. So far I'm well impressed. OK, off the bike I look like a goth Teletubby in a fat suit, but on the bike it's great. I have a 29" inside leg also. I feel your pain. If it helps, my father has a 26" inside leg and he looks very ridiculous in his leathers -- Gyp Another PC, another sig

Ah. Well I have would have recommended an MJK jacket like mine, with good vents, but GLF no longer import them. -- Colin Irvine ZZR1400 BOF#33 BONY#34 COFF#06 BHaLC#5 http://www.colinandpat.co.uk |
