  • I also has the same issue with the trousers. Ended up getting a large, normally wear a medium, it was too big on the waist but legs were too skinny to move. I couldn't comfortably lift my knee up which is a bit of an error on cycling trousers...
    It's a shame because I have the cotton rain shorts which I have in a large (they're a bit big but legs were comfier that way) and I love them and wear practically everyday.

    Perhaps legs patterns are being cut around a fitting model who doesn't cycle?

    I don't think I have particularly bulky legs for a cyclist, but I do struggle to buy trousers in the everyday high street shops which are perhaps designed for less muscular thighs?...

  • Hi Mec, the legs patterns are definitely cut to cyclists because its a detail I obssess about and i test everything before it gets sign off (amongst the others). But there are different cuts for different body types. The Summer Trousers are slimmer than Jinzu Jeans for instance. If you prepared to share thigh circumference, waist and inside leg, I could tell you your leg shape and how it'd match up, but it'd be tiiiiny bit public! Email us on info@vulpine.cc and ask for me. I'll tell Dani.

    Don't know what generation the rain trousers I have were, maybe v1. But, knee circumference reducing from 46 to 40cm on a Large, "cut for cycling". Actually curious what your feedback has been on this updated cut. How do you test it. I'm totally fine if I'm an outlier, but I find it hard to believe that I am.

    Really, I'd like to hear that the updated cut was a non-flyer and that next season you will be returning to trousers that women can actually bend their knees in (useful for cycling), because I might actually buy some then. Also, at first I was super sceptical of the button tab waist adjuster things, but the ability to not have to wear a belt is really great. Just saying.

  • Thanks for the reply. Will send over my measurements in a mo and you can tell me if I have Hoy-like thighs or not :)
