Helly Hansen, You're Blowing It!

I have been wearing Helly Hansen pants for the last 4 years at least. Always the men's cargo pant (because the girl pants never offer enough freedom of motion for me), and always the same size. I had the same problem as the previous reviewer. I ordered the same size as usual, and it's at least a full size too small. I ordered a size up and they are still tighter than my previous HH pants (that are a size smaller). Really annoying. Returned both of them.
Apparently they have started building them for tall people??? And if you go up a size it's just because you're taller? I donno... I am really bummed. My current Helly Hansen pants are cased in duct tape at the ankles, and I'm gonna have to keep wearing them until I find another brand. I have tried on a good 5 brands at this point. Pain in the arse.
So.... If you're a slim tall guy, you might still like these pants a lot, but will probably need to go up a size from what you are used to.
