NF pants

The waist band really propels the NF gear from great to excellent. It's always great to buy locally as well.

I have the DP3 for dust/bike park and colder weather, the Berserkers for very cold and outdoor work, the shorts for when I prefer shorts. I started with a discounted set of DP3s and it jut snowballed from there....
For hot/lightweight I have the Patagonia dirt roamers which have been the only other short/waistband combo I've been able to get on with.

Their "racing" or Quikstrike tops are probably the best I've worn outside of a very old Race Face ruxton top.

I recently bought and had to return a pair of the NF 6-day pants. I'm moderately tall (6'3"), 195 lbs. and have a 37" inseam. I had read online that NF pants are on the shorter side, so I ordered a 2XL pair to get the extra length.

Upon trying them on at home, I realized how short, and wide the pants were. If you're tall and thinner, maybe not the ideal fit.

The XL would have fit better waist-wise, but would presumably be even shorter.

FYI NF offers tall sizing https://ridenf.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/dp4-5team but they're often out of stock. XLT has been out of stock since the spring. It feels like right now would be a sensible time for them to restock.

I'm built like you and also find that all mountain bike clothing is short and wide: big through the waist yet very trim through the thigh and biceps. I guess the brands know who really butters their bread. Shout out to well dressed dad bods!

Haha, good one! Yeah a XLT size would have been ideal for me.

I wish there was a mountain bike clothes brand that sold riding gear - shorts, jerseys, pants - for taller people.

I have a pair of a Simms fishing waders in a size L Tall that would be perfect, well minus the water proof material and neoprene feet!
