I'm male, 6'1" and 145-150 lbs.  I struggle to find bibs that work.  If they're right for my height, then they're too roomy.  If they're right for my skinny size, then they're too short and it looks like I'm wearing women's hot pants.

So tall/skinny guys, what do you wear for bibs?  I'd like to add a couple pair to my rotation, but I'm struggling to find some with long enough legs.

Ideas?

Wow. I would think you are pretty much the exact build that cycling stuff s made for. Anyway, have you taken a look at LG stuff? They seem to run long a narrow.

I am 6'2 and 170 but with chicken legs.  If I just get shorts usually mediums are best. I have a pair of large LGs that fit really well and aren't too short, and even a medium pair of performance bike's that the top ends up a little stretched on but overall fit pretty decent.
