Arc'teryx Sidewinder SV Pant - Men's

My inseam to my ankle is 29" should I get the short or regular...

By Ranked #408 - Men's Ski Pants February 16, 2011

My inseam to my ankle is 29" should I get the short or regular length? Do the measurements in the size chart refer to the actual pant length or to my own measurement? If it's actual pant length I'd be inclined to go for regular at 30.5" as I may need a little extra length to compensate for the boots, if it refers to my body measurement then I guess a short at 28.5" would be more suitable. Any advice would be great, thanks.

Jim, I'm pretty sure the measurement in the chart refers to the length of the pant (on the chart page, scroll down to the descriptions of each measurement). Arcteryx suggests you wear a pair of pants that fit well, and measure the crotch seam to the end of the pant to get an accurate measurement. I'm with you in thinking a regular would be OK, but be sure to check your waist size on that chart as well. As always, backcountry.com has great customer service and will almost always take returns on items that don't fit. Happy trails! Happy trails!
