I've been shopping for a new pair of ski pants and EVERYTHING seems to be in regular length - about 31inches inseam.

Does anyone know of a shorter length pant / salopette?

I have short legs I always turn mine up. If you don't fancy doing it, take them to a dressmaker.

It's a good idea to choose a trouser with a straight cuff, no zip or other opening.

This is why I couldn't bring myself to shell out for expensive salopettes. If they're going to look stupid on me because they're way too long, I'd be much happier buying some cheapos from Decathlon than paying a few hundred quid for a decent brand.

Why don't they make these things in different lengths? It must be just as bad for ppl with extra long legs, maybe worse.

Nope, just you little legged people My wife has 36inch legs and has had no problem finding trousers long enough.

Now you say that, mine must be longer than 32" as they go over my heel and half way down my foot. I'm going to try an get some waterproof trekking pants in a short size (if I can) and add layers underneath.

My spring ski trousers have an inseam of 29.5" . They are North Face Varius Guide Pants.
Just as well they fit me just so, they would be really hard to turn up with full length side zips!

31" with a pair of boots underneath aren't too long. I, too, need a shorter length but find this size OK.

I just roll them up until I get my boots on.

It's only a slope.

I've been considering these NF pants. Is that the standard length they come in? From what I've seen there is no choice in leg length. Also, are these pants heavily insulated?
