I've got to admit, I'm used to Union Bay's big baggy cargo pants, and was surprised that this skinnier-fit worked out so well. The fabric, however, is about the same - a little stiff until you've washed it a bit, prone to riding down your back and bunching up in the crotch when you sit down. That aside, the waist and length fitting seem pretty dead-on (I got a pair of 34x30)
