    Well, what's the length (inseam)? From top of waist, to bottom of leg?

    Inquiring minds want to know :) (short people)

    Not going to open them since they are a present, but...

    Them claim to fit from 5'4 to 6'2. My brother is at the top end of the range. He's the short one.

    Wow, a 10" gap? I'm 6' 1" so I'm hoping they will work well, but what if your 5' 4" ? DD, you can get them hemmed at a taylor if need be, that won't hurt the effectivness of them.

    The set I picked up are 36". The box shows 32, 36, 40, which I thought was the waist but the inseam measures 36 also. All I saw at the store were 36". Those are about perfect on me, but I'm 6'4. Couldn't pass them up after seeing this. Too many close calls in the past, and I have to remember that I'm not young and stupid anymore. Can't even breathe the air in an urgent care center for what these cost.

    When I ordered there were no size options and I got the 36 as well. Might be only size actually offered?

    They may have a rill down waist. But you don't née Tue things dragging the ground, you should have boots on anyway which will give more protection than your blue jeans or Pajama pants or in my case here in SC, whatever you wear to cut in.

    I didn't get a size option either, any protection is better than none!

    My chaps arrived from Menards, size 36" They seem fine, I'm 6'1" and fit perfect for me.:cool: I could see if someone was much shorter It wouldnt be good for them. The box says there are sizes 32", 36", and 40" I guess the mail order, you don't get a choice.
