Great versatile, yet stylish pair of pants

Just picked these up last week and had my first tour out with them this weekend. I'm normally a bib guy; this is my first pair of pants and I have 3 other bibs that get worn regularly. I really like the fit and roominess of my Trew bibs from the '09-'10 season of which I bought a large; I'm 6' 180lbs athletic build about 33" waist and 33" inseam. With that in mind I decided to pick up the Chemical Pant in XL, since I wanted a good length and not to have my boot tops showing. Definitely worked just as I wanted it to. The combination of the adjustable elastic waist and a Flylow belt made the waist feel as if they fit perfectly while giving my the freeride fit that I wanted. I didn't have to pull them up or crank down on my belt at all. The cross-flow ventilation made me feel like it was a 20 degree day while it was 50 at the base of the mountian and 32 up top.
The only things I don't like about them is the lack of cargo pockets for stashing whatever (gloves, skins, beanie, etc.) and the front pockets which had a somewhat smaller opening and felt a little less than durable. But those are just personal preferences versus product defects or issues.
Find your fit and size and pull the trigger on these bad boys. Love 'em.
