Ferrino Trekker sizing?

[pudgypilgrim]

I'm considering the Ferrino Trekker and I was pleased to see it's available from amazon, but I have absolutely no idea of how the sizing runs for those, and the Ferrino website doesn't have any info either. I'm 170 cm (5'7), so would I want the small or the large?

I'm 5' 6" and bought the small/medium Trekker from Amazon. There is a picture of my daughter who is 5' 8" wearing a small/med Trekker in this post. As you can see it goes just beyond her knees.

Thanks so much, Laura. I'm seriously impressed with your alteration skills, incidentally.

My sm/med reaches mid calf. I'm 5' 5" and I love it BTW.

Having used a Ferrino a Trekker on my first Camino, I recommend that longer is better, as long as it does not trip you while walking. A hem ending just below the knees would be ideal at keeping your lower legs mostly dry. However, if you are wearing synthetic fabric trousers, they will likely dry very fast. Mine did.

I dispensed with rain chaps early in my walk, as the long raincoat did the trick for me. I am slightly over 6 foot tall (185 cm) in hiking boots and I wore the L/XL size.

I hope this helps.

Thanks, Tom. I'll be walking in a macabi and that dries amazingly fast.
