Cblais .. Are you saying they are slim fit, or run small ( like if you wear a 34 you should order a 36?)

They have different models which have different cuts, I went with the 2016 Straight jeans due to the sale price and while my normal waist size is a 32 I had to size up to the 34s in order to have enough space to fit hip protectors. I do have rather bulky thighs despite my smaller waist size so that was a factor as well. Going from the 32 regular to the 34 regular did seem to get longer, which was unexpected, since the Covec liner doesn’t start until ~mid shin I think I’m going to see if I can get them hemmed up a bit.
Don’t think you can beat the price/protection trade off in these though, from the rating they’re actually far more protective then the vast majority of textile pants around.
