Does what it's supposed to

For the money, this is a high value pants. I'm not even gonna touch the water repellent and wind stopping qualities of Gore-Tex which is a given. The gaiter with velcro and snap enclosure is a good convenient for quick wrapping over the boot (vs. zipppers). The cut/design of the pant is simple yet highly functional. The issue is the fit, which seems to run on the larger side. The size chart says medium is 32-34 inches. I wear 32-33 pants (from the usual banana republic, express, jcrew, etc. brands)...and the medium was too large for me even after pulling on the velcro waistband to the max. So I ended up getting the small, which fits but is a bit tight on me (the snap enclosure pops out sometimes). I'm sure this shouldn't be an issue for most people though...and I just need to loose some weight.
