Anyone else have a problem with being tall and skinny?

I need at least XL pants for length, but I've got a 32 waist, so even with a belt the 38-44 waist that comes on most XL pants is ridiculous. Gets all scrunched up even if I'm sagging. I'm just wondering how many people have the same problem, and if there are some baggy looking pants out there that don't come with the waist size for a middle aged beer belly.
I'm 6'3" and 160#, my little bro is almost 6'5" and about 155# I'm guessing, so we're kinda extreme, but we're thinking there could be a good market for longer pants with a smaller waist size. What do you think?

try some obermeyer revert LONGS... they come in a long style so you can wear a size smaller waist with the same length

you beat me to it. i'm about 6'2 and 160lbs, and i wore obermeyer reverts last year and they worked out well. i didnt get the longs because they didnt make long in the color i wanted, but if you're taller than me, the longs should definitely work for you. i still needed to wear a belt with them, since the waist on them i believe is 36-38, but it wasnt ridiculous like a lot of other pants are.

I just bought some foursquare xl pants and they dont scrunch at all at the top because they have the elastic and adjustable waist. The waist fits perfectly even though i am a 32. Just some advice. You need to get pants with the adjustable waist.

Awesome, so it seems like the Reverts might be the way to go. I just got Siver Pivotals for the insulation and the color (orange), but it really isn't technical gear - there isn't any way to cinch them up.

6'2" 155 and the tall burtons work fine except they don't have the same sag nigga look to em. the only way i've found is to get suspenders. this works wonders. the ronins are some ill fuckers

I wouldn't exactly call it a problem. The problem is when you drink too many beers... and your tall and skinny...and fat all at the same time.. LIKE ME! woo.

I think most skiers are either tall and skinny, or short and skinny

Ah, there's another good idea, thanks. I've been thinking about getting some anyways, didn't think about it helping me gain a little girth, but sweet...
