I dunno if your asking because you have been wearing pants that you don't like, or if you are new to the sport...but I'm 6'4 with some longish legs and I feel covered well enough in my medium size CCM Tack pants. Sure an extra inch would be nice, but it's good enough for me.

I had a huge problem finding pants that were long enough while providing enough protection. I finally found Warriors Hustler pant and am VERY satisfied. I know custom is pretty expensive, but I would save up the money and get them. Well worth it in my opinion.

You can try the tackla pants. My cousin just went through the same thing as you and he got the tackla 951s +2 because he needed length but had a smallish waistsize.

my lhs www.thehockeyshop.com sells 951s and other tackla models that have +length sizing.

thanks for all your input and suggestion, i currently use rbk 5k in size large i went a size bigger to have more lenght i don't quite like the fit they are too baggy and still too short for my liking.

idealy i should be medium size, and i could even get into small size wiith my jeans on lol.

how other brands compare to rbk do some makes them longer in there standard size.

I'm 6'4" and have a 34" waist. I use a Bauer XXXX girdle in Large and it protects better than an pant I've ever used. I would suggest you go the girdle route. It fits my waist and covers my legs very well. At least look into it.

I am 6'3" and use a size large Vapor XXXX girdle too. Length wise they are pretty good. Had a pair of CCM V08's but they were just to short. I like the setup I got now.

seem like the One75 would be a good option for me they are considerably less expensive than the Tackla and Graf witch i understand are pro level with better protection but i don't mind about protection and think my 5k does the job one75 will be probably better as it high end model.

For what it's worth, I asked Ice Warehouse about the One75 tall's and how much longer they were, and this is what they told me.

Unfortunately the manufacturer does not provide that information and we have tried multiple times to gather that information ourselves however we have found that getting a uniform inseam measurement from ice pants is way more difficult that one would think.

I have found they aren’t too much longer. I would say no longer than 1”. However the length does vary from size to size.

Pretty much, if you find that the regular size is too short but the waist is good you will probably benefit from the tall version.

I'm 6'4", almost 6"5" with a 36" waist.

I was wearing old Tackla 1000 and switched this year to Jofa HP7000 XL +2. To be honest, I think going down a size would probably fit me better. It's been my experience that tall pants are hard to find and pricey, I got my pants at a pro stock sale.

I' not tall at only 5'11'' (6 ft if you ask me :) ) but I like longer pants. I tried on the XXXX girdle and it was the perfect length. Would have bought it save for the lack of black shells in the place. Probably order it online with a shell here soon.

I highly recommend you go try one of those on, great length.

Using height comparisons from one person to the next are somewhat irrelevant, as leg and torso length will vary from one person to the next. If you find that you need a longer length, Tackla has a few different pants that come in +length.

Another vote for Tackla hockey pants. You can get them in long sizes and get an extra 2 inches on the legs. Also high end Mission pants are adjustable about 2 inches ( 5.8 cm.) on the legs.

I would totally agree with that. I bought the One75's in XLT to give me a bit of extra leg length. While they are slightly longer than my 6k's, it is only around an inch at the most!

i dont think you need a "plus" anything. standard pants should do well. if youre on the slender side, lean towards something with an integrated belt (Bauer) to hold the fit better
