First, I’d like to start off with the pants have amazing material. They are also wicking, very light and breathable. The pockets are a neat touch and they seem durable. I haven’t tested the pockets out fully yet, but so far so good, I’ll edit if otherwise.
So why did I give it only 3 stars versus 5? It might be a little harsh, but hear me out, the main reason we all shop online is because we don’t want to deal with stores and changing rooms, amiright!? So we all try our hardest to ensure we have the right size in order to avoid returns. Sure, Amazon has an amazing return policy and system, but it’s still a hassle we as customers should be able to avoid as much as possible. So it’s very crucial as a clothing company to ensure you have an accurate size chart/guide and that is not the case here. Let’s pretend that it doesn’t have a weird funky listing of the “Brand”s sizes vs the US that aren’t even listed in the options such as 3XL-6XL (this is clearly not the brand sizes they are selling) and let’s just focus on the listed US sizes. Those sizes are not accurate. If you look at the transition of the waist inches they are only roughly an inch difference. Look at any other size guide on a normal clothing website and this is not the case. Already it looks suspicious. But hey I decided to take a shot at it anyway!
I am 5’9, 270 pounds, and my measurements are 43 waist, 53 hip, and 32 inseam and I was able to get the XX-L and they are actually very fitting. In a rough comparison I would be a 3XL in Addidas and Nike pants for women, for example. The size chart is completely wacko. According to them I should not be able to even step into that size. Hopefully they see this and update that, because honestly I’ve seen it so many times on Amazon now that I’m starting to think it’s the site.
Also, some have complained of it being way too long. I haven’t had this issue, but I don’t wear them below my crotch like some guys do. I wear them roughly halfway between my waist and my hips. I could still wear them on my hips, but the pants are slightly, only slightly longer than usual( I personally like this) so they would almost hit the floor, but not quite.
I highly recommend them if you can translate your size through reviews and I would buy them again, I just think I got lucky with my sizing, but I don’t think it should be a guessing game, I consider that playing with customers’ time and money, so hence the three stars.
Customers say this fits true to size.
