I personally have a pair of 5000vx's, but when I looked at your Flat Head and Kicking Mule options, I figured you would want something slim and tapered. The inseam on my s5000vx were shunken down to tag size (Gordon put it through a lot before he could get them all the way down), but they quickly stretched out to raw inseam length. The length, even after they were at they're absolute smallest, was doable. The second day I had them I was irritating my friends because I kept putting one leg over another and going, "Holy shit, I can't believe I can do that!" I had a pair of SDA 103's, but we had to part ways because a good inch or so of ankle showed every time I sat down. Biking was a nightmare. With the Samurais, biking, sitting, running, falling; everything is perfect. They also give one the feeling of wearing armor. I feel like a bullet wouldn't pierce these things. The fade is really coming along, too. I wear the absolute hell out of these things, though, so my 2 week results may be atypical. At first, they were a bitch to break in, but after about 50 or so miles on my bike, they're coming along rather nicely. Samurai's customer service is amazing, too. You could also look into some Dior's, but if you're as tall and skinny as me, they might make you look like a strung out, female meth addict. APC's weren't long enough, either. |
