Middle_oab is built like a golf club. All long feet and silly skinny.
Super skinny school uniform hangs off him...
He is 6'

Suggest to me some long roubaix tights with or without pad and a pair of shorts with pad (Lycra)

The Funkier bibs and tights are apparently a tight fit.

I have a medium pair of Funkier 14 panel shorts, they just fit my ~34" waist. I was going to buy a pair of Funkier thermal tights for ~£24 from Chainreaction's clearance section, but the last two mediums went early on Friday.

He is a 24" waist, 33/34" inside leg. 😯

Maybe look at women’s tights?

Was going to suggest women’s tights. My tights are Northwave and they fit my pipe cleaners fine, they are 10 years old though so no idea what their current range fit is like

Are his thighs also slim? I find the thigh size of shorts the most important size. The waist of shorts and tights can always be adjusted smaller with a bit of sewing.

Decathlon tights are silly skinny. Plenty of length just really tight around the calves. Maybe worth a look.

Medium and 34" huh? That's why they're a tight fit...

They are. Their siding guide suggested M for my 34” waist, which I didn’t believe, so I ordered XL. I couldn’t get them on.

XXXL are on the snug side!

A lot of shorts go by hip size not waist size.

Got a pair of small rivelo roubaix 3/4 you are welcome to try from Sports pursuits (missed the return date) I'm a slim small and 179 cm, and they were just too small across the hips. Great quality. I swapped to Rapha medium instead.

Being under 25 (I assume).

I was that skinny, then hit 25 and bam, fat bastard.

I tried two more this weekend - pad just not 'right' it seems with such skinny bootocks....

He is 6'
He is a 24" waist

How is that even possible?

Freak of nature. It is the only explanation - as I am a chubster and mrs_oab is a glorious 5' nowt tall...

Dad has taken the standard STW "no pudding" punishment too far?

Tough one.
Castelli would be 'skinny' enough, but not by the time you went up to size L/XL to account for the leg length needed.

Size S leg warmers and long socks may be about the best solution you are going to get.

I got a pair of these Endura tights a couple of months back ..they work really well...shower proof & fleece lined with a gripper top and bottom as well as a zip at the bottom..so far they have stayed in place without having to resort to wearing the missus's sussy belt 8)
