Men's Guide Trail MTB Pants | Tall

I have had no luck finding MTB pants long enough for me, I’m 6’5” inseam 36. I found these on Cognitive MTB site and gave them a try. I wore them at Spider Mountain in February 2025 the fit was exactly what I was looking for. The tall unseamed pants let me make them the length I needed. Look, feel, fit was right on I am gonna get another pair in the tan color.

I’m 6’5 and I Just got my order, I rushed to try these on. I grabbed my knee pads and tried them on. From the very second I slipped my foot into the pants I knew these are the perfect pant! I don’t have to worry about my pants rising up and looking like I’m wearing floods. The fit around the knees are perfect and almost hides the pads. The waist area feels so nice with the raised up back and feels secure. And yes the zipper pockets fits my iPhone pro max . Can we make a winter version?

6’6” here with enough to worry about finding shoes that will fit (size 14) and a bike large enough (XXL)…. Cognative did me a solid making pants I dont have to second guess will fit. Super comfortable. Took a spill in them and they held up great. The details are thoughtful and it honestly beats som PJ’s in comfort. 4 way stretch that allows for complete mobility. Looks great with every jersey jacket and shirt I use to ride in. 10/10. These are so good I bought some last year and would email them monthly asking when they would restock so I could get more. This iteration of the tall pant is even better than last years. Wouldn’t second guess the purchase and it’s nice to know someone’s looking out for us giants.

I'm 6 feet 5 inches tall and have a slim waist. Living in New Zealand there isn't any brands offering anything that would fit. I took a gamble on the Cognative Tall Pants having never tried them on or seen any, and was amazed how good they are. Great stretch materials, great pocket placing and waist adjustment. Really impressed. If I have one reccomendation it would be to lower the knee articulation as I feel when pants are raw/un hemmed that length at the foot end is added rather than the thigh portion of the leg being lengthened proportionally. But then again I may just have very long femurs. I will be ordering more pants as soon as they are in stock.

I’m 6’1” so not an overly tall writer, but the standard sizes only had a 31.5 inch inseam for a 34 inch waist which I thought was unusual and too short for me. I opted for the taller size, but after the hassle of finding someone in my area that actually did alterations and paying them 40 bucks to do the alterations the pants ended up being a lot more expensive than I anticipated, and even with the shorter length, they’re still very difficult to get on and off. The quality seems OK, not a big fan of the metal buckles that tighten the waist, these could’ve been better designed so they don’t pop out of the fabric loops as easily as they do. I’m committed to them now so they’re going to give them my best shot, but probably would opt for a different brand with more standard sizes. Another minor disappointment was that I wanted the purple color but that wasn’t available in the taller size.

Ordered 36" waist, which is a pretty good fit for my 35-36" waist. 39" inseam is great, but too narrow at the bottom. I guess the people that make these don't understand that tall people that are buying them have big feet. Very difficult (nearly impossible) to get them on as ordered. Immediately cut 3" off and still difficult to get on. Not enough stretch. I am 6'4" tall and I cut off 3" for a nice length. Nice to have riding pants that are long enough. Lightweight with room for another layer underneath Not a really high-quality product, but pretty good for the price.

Love these pants. My fav brand yet

Nice pants, with good pockets. The 39” inseam is great, but the leg bottom opening is very narrow. After cutting the length to a 36” hem, I was able to get my big feet through the openings.

I haven't had a chance to ride in them yet, but tried them on and they are super nice! These guys really thought these through way better than most other mtb product companies out there..... Extra tall and hemmable? Awesome. Just loose enough to pull them over your feet, but still tight enough to have zero chance to getting caught in your chain? Yep. There aren't many companies putting this much thought into stuff.

Finally a pair of riding pants long enough. Dare I say too long. I'm 6'4" tall, and have had a tuff time finding pants long enough. As soon as I recieved these I went for a ride. Awesome! I just tucked them up under at the cuff, and no trouble at all. Even after a 20 mile mountain bike ride. Highly recommend. I will be getting a second pair.

Great pants, have a pair that's a year old and have held up really well. Just added another pair into the mix.

Finding tall size cycling pants is nearly impossible. I found these, ordered them, have worn them on several cycling adventures and am completely satisfied with the fit and quality of materials and design. I highly recommend the pants.

I’m 6’10 and 270lbs, so I’m delighted to see the 39” inseam. However, as height increases you need to add more width to the leg and in particular the leg opening. I’m going to have to get my altered to add a 6” vertical cut with elastic, otherwise my heels/feet almost tear the fabric.

So, so stoked that Cognative is making these pants. Being a tall rider with a long inseam is hard enough to find a bike--good luck finding riding pants. And I can get them not just in black?!? They're super comfortable and super durable. Now, they are in the close until cold weather comes but I do wear them for just about anything I need pants for outdoors...get these pants!

I am tall and have never had cycling pants or tights that were long enough. Cognative MTB finally fixed that!! Unhemmed cycling pants!!! AND they are seriously good quality - both in construction and materials used. Just light enough and just thick enough. The phone pocket is perfect. The fit is amazing. All in all: Perfect. I would like belt loops all around, but that's just being nit-picky. I am a huge fan.

Extra tall, minimal logos!!! Ankle opening is quite small, my size 13 feet take a perfect balance of finesse and leverage to get through. Hopefully for many reasons I won’t have to finesse a swollen ankle through after doing something wrong. Also my waist measurement put me solidly in the middle of a size, and at the slimmest setting they’re pretty loose. I might suggest downsizing when ordering?

I’m 6’7” and went with the uncut pants. They fit incredibly well and are super comfortable. Would recommend these to anyone looking for a new pair of pants. Even if you don’t need a new pair you could use these in your closet too.

Great fit and adjustment, and I can tailor to my legs! Will add zippers.

Being a tall guy with a 36” inseam. I have a hard time finding pants of any type that fit me well. So when I sat that Cognative offered these pants un-hemmed I decided to snag a pair. I rode 30 miles with my new Guide Trail MTB Pants for the first time today. I loved the fit and feel of them and they didn’t hinder my riding at all. Temps were in the low 60s and I didn’t get overheated. I hope that more colors become available in the un-hemmed length.
