I am a size 13 and saw a few of my rather thin friends wear these pants in M, so I figured an XL will be just perfect for me. Turns out I was wrong, and that wasn't the only reason I returned these. They are bulky, heavy, thickly lined, and the waistline band that's supposed to hold your stomach in actually holds nothing and keeps sliding down.
So, I got my money back and am still wondering what's so wondrous between these cargo pants...
