Motocross Pants?

Question

I bought a pair of motocross pants off ebay. They are nice and fit me at the waist, but they only reach the top of my ankle. Are motocross pants made to be shorter because the boots go so high up your leg? I dont have motocross boots, and just wear hiking boots

Answer 1

Sometimes it is hard to get a good fit with motocross pants as I guess not everyone is made the same way.  They are not really meant to go all the way to your ankle and should tuck into your motocross boots.  If you are riding in hiking boots then I would suggest that you stop doing that and try and afford some proper boots as I have seen some very nasty burns from the exhaust when the rider has gone down and the bike has been on top of him or her.  The pants do protect you but my sons have destroyed a number of pairs of pants due to exhaust burns and it will go straight through the pants and burn your body.  

But back to the pants.  If you can bend comfortable at the knee then the pants are not over tight, but if they tend to pull and be uncomfortable when you are in a bent position like you would be on the bike then they are too small and you need a larger pair.  But as long as they tuck into your motocross boots which you are going to get they will be okay.

One of my boys is so skinny that his pants only go to his mid calf as he needs a kids size 28 to fit his waist and he is just on 16 years old.   He prefers that they fit his body and are not too sloppy on him for racing.

Answer 2

Yes, they should be a little short. I would invest in motocross boots as soon as you can. You can get FOX Trackers for about $99.
