What a bummer!! I ordered a size up (I am 5' 4.5", 195lbs but carry it well and look about 180lbs, curvy thighs, curvy butt and my waist is small-ish for my hip size) and got a 14 since that's the biggest they came. The legs ballooned out too much, seemed like more of a pant for someone who is in their 20's and doesn't mind the feeling of their butt crack creeping out and a serious muffin top. granted, I need to be in better shape but I am getting there - just don't think if you have junk in the trunk that these pants will work. I am still losing more weight so I will try them again in about 10-15lbs but I wasn't impressed. I like the Stryke pant by 5.11 - it's flattering without trying too hard, but when I sit my crack still hangs out but my shirt is tucked in, so whatever.

I would like ANY of these damn tactical pants to not make it look like I am carrying half of my cats around on my legs. How in God's name do all of these fabrics attract so much lint and hair?! Seems silly to overlook that since so many people have pets. Without pets there is still lint, etc. Am I supposed to put a lint roller in the cargo pocket?!!

And get with the program guys, we aren't all built the same - you would think someone would want to make money off of us desperate-to-be-comfortable plus size chicks. We will pay more to feel ok with our uniform!!
