I read a lot of negative reviews about these particular pants, but due to differences in body type hoped that my case would be different. It was not, unfortunately. I am a very slim, 160 lb, 6' tall runner, and I ordered my normal size (32x32) The pants fit great, as long as I didn't move... Thighs were much too tight for all-day comfort, requiring constant pulling down, and the "flex" fabric must have taken the day off. The material felt flimsy and stiff, a weird combination. The feature I was excited about was the leg pocket for my cell phone. It fit well enough, and didn't have the annoying velcro some other brands feel the need to include, but was situated curiously low on the leg, so that when I knelt down, (as I do quite frequently on the job as part of a maintenance crew,) the phone became uncomfortably pinched behind my knee! I would recommend these pants only to a very "skinny" person.
