really nice, but too baggy for me

By Nick Mitchell Ranked #292 - Men's Hiking and Climbing Pants July 20, 2010

Hey, this is a very well designed technical pant. The belt and buckle, the cut, pockets, and everything are really great. It's not the lightest weight material out there. For summer stuff, I go with Arcteryx Rampart -- awesome pants!! The other main reason i go with the ramparts is that they actually fit.

I'm 2m tall and about 175 pounds, and have chicken legs! Ok! i admit it! hehe, so i got a Large hoping that the "euro" cut would be in my favor. The length is great, super long and at least that part is perfect for me. But tooooo baggy!! I have a good 3-4" of growing room in them, plus way too much spare material around the thighs. I'm keeping them, because they're a good backup and lounging around pant (not what i got them for, and not what they should be used for, but all i can, given the sizing problem). Plus, they fit my brother (185cm or so tall and 20-30 pounds heavier) perfectly, so he can use them when he visits and we hike together.

For tall skinny people, the Arcteryx Rampart 35" inseam medium is the way to go.
