Help
I am looking to find some clothes to start playing speedball, but I have a height disadvantage. I am 6'3" and weigh 155lbs. I don't know what to do. All the companies sell pants and jerseys to short and wide. I need pants in 34 34-36 and large tall jerseys. I wouldeven pay to get custom maid ones to fit me. I have a local event not to far away that I would like to be ready for, but all the companies told me there is no demand for the sizes, so they can't size me right. Any suggestions? I have looked for a little less then a year now with no success.

maybe you can get the size that fits your length and tighten the waist with the built in belt / other means. might be real baggy though.

For some reason I don't think Mike quite has my thin build, but if I could even find something not ridiculously out of my size, I would really look into it.
Does mike have long enough gear or just as close as he can get?

Honestly man, you are just gonna have to try and find a pro shop to go try stuff on because most paintballers are just what you said. Short and Fat.

is this event a speedball event, or a scenario ? and what type of paintball do you mostly play ? if its speedball, your issues are a little more pronounced,, but if it is scenario or woodsball, outlaw ball, then you can prolly find some good, cheap ripstop military issue bdu's in your size. then the important thing would be to get some good padding as in knee/shin/ankle, elbow/forearm.
for speedball, you could do what i have done now for a LONG time, and that is to just go on ebay and buy jerseys... i have football, baseball, hockey, jerseys from all different colleges, pro teams, that i just liked the color scheme on ... they are bright, very colorful, have good ventilation, and they are throw aways if they just get too messed up, and theyre cheap. plus it ALWAYS strikes up a conversation for people that have some kind of a link to that team or area.
in the warmer months, i wear shorts, even in the speedball tourneys .. but with sliders underneath and knee/shin padding ...just a thought

You should get more swoll. Do u even lift?
Jk. But 6'3" 155 is pretty damn skinny. I would just buy xxl jerseys and wear your pack over them. That tucks them in more. Other than that, just really try to find elbow and knee pads to fit. For pants, most 34-38 pants jave a 32/ 33 inseam, just wear tall socks.
Also, i don't know how old you are, but chances are you will start to bulk up if you are under 18

Protip. Buy a shovel. Dig and Pile REPEAT until desired effect is achieved. Builds upper body and character. Bitches love upper body and character.

Disruptive makes pants with extra length. I have a dye and disruptive in XL and the disruptive is longer. I'm 6'0 with 32 inseam and the bottom reaches the floor

Okay. Thanks everyone for the input. I'll see if I can look at my local pro shops. I am looking for speedball gear. Sorry to no be descriptive. I forgot that the packs can hold it tighter, so I guess it won't matter as much.

If all else fails, you could just pick up some ACU's or BDU's. They would work fine for speedball, plenty of players use them and they hold up just as well, and for some reason I think you might have better luck finding a good size.
