Title: Thor Race pants SE racing colours
Post by: sam hudson on August 20, 2010, 02:26 PM

Hello all

Two questions. I recently bought a pair of 2007 Thor Core race pants in a colour called 'wonka' (seriously !!  :idiot2:). Anyway, it turns out that although they fit me around the waist, they are about 4" too short. Is this because they are MX pants and MX riders wear high collared boots?? They are the same pants that the SE racing team wore in 2008 so thor pants can't all be too short for BMX.

Second question, anyone got a pair with 32" waist with 34" leg!!  :LolLolLolLol:

IME MX racepants aren't particlarly long in the leg. My Answer racepants are only just long enough, and they're quite a big size!

 :'( maybe i'll buy some really long socks!!

So what pants would anyone recommend buying for BMX?? The reason that I want some, is that they are a bit more waterproof than jeans. As I got soaked at the weekend, I could do with getting some trousers that shed some water.

Maybe try some MTB stuff (downhill/freeride)? I've got some zip-off Shift racepants that I uaually wear as shorts. They are longer that my MX pants.
