Shorty needs pants!

October 13, 2008 5:15 PM

I have short legs. I like basketball. It's cold in Denver. Where can I get warmup pants (real warmups, not yoga pants), designed for basketball in petite length for a woman.

I've searched all major players. I'd prefer the kind that can be taken off (zippers or snaps up the sides) at the gym. I suspect this particular style would be difficult or akward to hem.

I don't care how much it costs.

Have you tried kids' sizes yet? Probably the easiest and cheapest solution.

althleta often has petite/short pants in their catalogs. i've never tried them though, so i can't vouch for quality/service ect.

I am short too, just barely 5 feet, and have only found petite in yoga pants too. I have had good luck buying warmups in the children's department. The boys section always has a ton more in terms of selection and tend to be boyish looking, but work for me. The girls sections are getting better though. Try Dick's, REI, Modell's, or Sports Authority.

The bonus is that kids' sizes are cheaper!
