Hi all,
I gave a search looking for climbing pants, and Im a tall guy (6' 5"/198cm), I wear a 36x36, but would settle for a 36x34/35 and I found several posts but I was unable to find the pants discussed in them as many are not carried anymore. Does anyone know of brands that have good options in my size? I mainly boulder indoors as a result of weather, but would also like to be comfortable doing outdoor climbing in summer weather as well as slack lining. Durability is the #1 feature I'm looking for, and water resistance would be nice. Itd be cool if I didnt have to spend much more than ~$65, but I'm open to more expensive options if they have really good durability reputation/bomber warranties.
Thanks

I was pretty psyched to get some Prana Brion pants recently, as they're available in 36" inseam.  I was planning on them being general daily wear pants, but they're becoming preferred climbing wear.  Nicely stretchy.  Definitely not the cheapest option, but I'm thrilled with mine to have things that actually fit.

I'm a 35x36 tall guy so I feel your pain. The Prana Stretch Zion pants, while pricey, are great climbing pants and come in a long inseam (36"). Carhartt has loads of pants in 36" and generally very reasonable prices. The rugged flex rigby pant has some spandex for mobility but is also a pretty burly cotton.

6'4" here and Mammut makes alpine/ice pants that fit me (eg the Tatramar pants).

They're expensive, but Arcteryx has long inseam options. I've owned a few pairs over the years and found them to be super durable - definitely worth the investment. The Sigma FLs and Gamma LTs are great, they're water resistant and lightweight.

I'm a measly 34" inseam but +1 to the Prana Brion and Stretch Zions! They're almost all I wear at this point. Lightweight and breathable, great stretch and motion. The Brions can be rolled up and snapped into a capri if it gets too hot. I haven't used them in any sort of OW groveling as I'm fairly sure they wouldn't survive long, but for everything else, I love them. For my sizing (31x34), I've had really good luck getting deals on SAC. Haven't paid full retail for anything yet.

Patagonia & Arc' Teryx are the only companies I've seen that make select styles in tall/long versions.  Probably a better option is to buy a mountain boot with a built-in gator and you're good to go.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
