for any shorter musa pants owner, how is the long inseam?

i'm 5'7", 30" inseam (but really only because no one makes 29" inseams)

do the leg openings and zipper tighten up enough to cinch it around the ankle and keep it from dragging down below the heel? or will someone short like me just suffer from having really long pants that drag.

Hi DS,
I'm 5' 7" (on a tall day). PBH ~80-ish. 30" inseam for pants. 

I wear the MUSA Small pants. I just measured mine, and they are 31" inseam. The leg is tapered, and when the zipper is closed, there's no heel dragging. I measured the cuff, and it's ~13" (circumference).

I wear ~30" waist, and these fit fine. (Maybe a bit snug, but nitpicking.)

The pants (and knickers and shorts) are great for many activities. I've noticed that the material seems more windproof and heat retaining than other nylon-type bottoms that I have-- I run warmer in MUSA than my other gear.

LMK if you have any questions,
Shoji

Thanks Shoji. That helps a good bit. I’m a 32” waist normally but hoping a small will work with the expandable strap on the waist. the shorts I have are a medium and fit great. Are they snug with the straps on the waist expanded out as far as they can go?

These will be more for hiking and camping mostly, some riding.

Yes, snug buckled with the straps expanded as far as possible. When unbuckled, there's no issue, and I think would be fine for 32". You could redo the buckle, if the fit was otherwise fine.

But maybe the medium would be better if the other dimensions are close enough?

(Hiking and camping would be great-- and colder weather riding.)

I am 5'7 and wear pants with a 30 inch inseam.  The length is no problem.  I do have freakishly large calves and actually find the newer MUSA pants too tight in the calves.  The older ones were fine.
