I saw a pair of softshell pants at Costco last fall that some people here used for camping and liked. I don't remember if they used them while riding, and as a guy with a 34" inseam I know what you mean. I have a pair of Novaro tights I got from REI about 10 years ago that fit wonderfully. They're almost too long, and keep my ankles covered while riding. I'm unsure if they still make them or not.
