I am 6' 8" and am having a tough time locating some bibs with an inseam close to 36".  I have found a few pants but no bibs.  After a few hours of looking online I still haven't found anything.  Any help would be great.  Thanks

I like to know where you found pants to fit. I can't find pants to fit over my legs. I have a 36 inseam, and most tall pant are long enough. Try syder.

Not ski pants but these are the best bibs i've ever owned. Cabelas goretex guide bibs. Come in 4 different colors and have reinforced knees, seat and for boots. I got a pair , red and black. They are three years old and show no wear. I also use them for snowmobile. Check them out.

Brutally expensive, but worth it if you need top-notch quality.  I got some of their soft shell pants in a tall size (6'6", 34" inseam).

I haven't seen much tall stuff from Patagonia recently, but also haven't been looking specifically for new pants.

I did also see that Cabelas sells a bunch of big/tall stuff, as Lars mentioned above.  And I got some REI house-brand base layers for this season, so they may have something as well.

Thanks for the help.  I decided to take another look at arcteryx eventhough their bibs retail for $450.  However I found a pair of the stinger bibs online for $270 in an XL tall.  They came in today and fit great.  Thanks again

You pay a lot of money for Arcteryx but they are worth it.  I have a Stingray jacket, Stingray pants and this year I picked up a pair of Stinger bibs as well.  I'm sure you'll love them.

i'm not sure they'd be tall enough...but I've got some Cabelas bibs too...I'm only 6'5" but maybe they'd be in the right ballpark for you.  I tried like 4 different pants from them when I ordered, and returned the ones that didn't cut it.
