Hi
Looking for a new pair for this season but only being 5'4 I find the legs are way too long for me. Anyone know of a brand that does shorter lengths? I end up ripping the bottoms to shreds.

The North Face makes ski pants in different lengths - short, regular and long

My wife has the same problem, she found a pair of CMP ski pants at Lockwoods Outdoors in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, just the job at 85 quid. Good luck.

I'm only 5'3" and never had any problems with any pants, what are you doing to shred them??

Same prob for me at 5'4". I bought a pair that I could take up - 8 inches.And I'm a size 12 but bought a "large" What shape do they think lady skiers are?? Manufacturers are missing a trick here.

Jocrad you must have longer legs than me that's all I can say. :roll: Still not found any online. They get ripped walking around resort before I put my ski boots on. They tend to be a lot higher than my snow boots.
I doubt the manufacturers are really bothered about doing different lengths unless its top range.

I empathise with you. I am a bloke who has to buy women's sals because I have short legs. Size 14, I am! I was not called Toddy Legs at school for nothing. I end up buying a new pair just about every time I go so I just buy a crappy pair from Mountain Warehouse or similar

Managed to buy some O'Neills at their outlet store. Schoffel and Columbia do a shorter size but were a bit more than I wanted to pay. Also probably a little too warm for where Im heading. Mountain warehouse were about a foot too long and could have got both legs in one. Trespass were too baggy.
