Suggestions for summer riding pants I can put over work clothes, something cool, easy to put on and off and come in petite, I'm only 5'1. Thanks in advance.
Great forum, love reading all the great info.

I love my TourMaster Flex pants. They are actually 4 season and zip right down to mesh, so in the end you are getting good bang for your buck. I have been wearing mine every day since last October and they are awesome. They have taken me through cold weather now to warm. Very happy with these and would buy them again in a heartbeat. I also found them the right length.

The womens' sizes run too small if they are short enough and the mens' are too long if they are large enough otherwise. As always, the men have a huge variety of sizes to choose from whereas we are supposed to be within a ridiculous limited size range. Pfooey!

I have a pair of Olympia Airglides that I really like. They have great flow through ventilation and a quilted liner. I have a 29" inseam and had to shorten them but they are designed so it can be done easily.

Deb - I actually bought TourMaster men's pants in a small and I have short legs, they are great in length, not long at all. Try a medium in them.

You should be thankful you aren't looking for bicycling shorts. Impossible!

At 4'10" and about 97 lbs, my choices are extremely limited, also. I am waiting to receive a pair of Tourmaster Cortech mesh (over)pants in size small that I bought from someone on Craigslist. The woman said they run small. If they don't fit well and can't be altered, I plan on looking for good mesh (if they exist) youth riding pants. I will let you know how it goes.
