I'm 6'3". Usually wear a 34/34 in other pants and jeans. These pants fit me perfectly. Good mid-weight shell fabric for cool weather and wind. The styling is nice, with articulated knees and useful pockets and zippers. Pants have endured brief heavy snow...and I stayed warm and dry. Pants have taken a few slip and falls on tree roots and talus with no scars, stains, or tears. No regrets on the purchase at all. That said, improvements are possible: no side zips, so boots must come off to put on/take off pants during activities. I'd love to see full-length zips, but at least to mid-calf would be helpful. Also, the fabric does stretch and can tend to expand over a day's activities, especially with heat, sweat, or water/condensation, so a belt may become necessary. Built-in elastic/Velcro cinches would be great, or a low profile adjustable belt would be helpful.I liked it, but the size 32 for length was way to long for me. I usually wear 30 (industry minimum) but would love it if it would go down to a 28 (rare to find)I am 5.7, 145 lbs and very athletic. This pant is way to long, and loose from the waist and from inseam. Not a good fit overall. I haven't used it at all and returned the item.These pants were great for my trek up Mt Adams. I was plenty warm in 20 degree weather with the wind blowing upwards of 30mph. As always Outdoor Research delivers a great product.I guess these are new – no reviews on them anywhere. I haven't bought them, but did try them on at the OR store in Seattle, and thought it was worth sharing my impressions.These are very sharp looking and nice feeling pants. They're a great weight – heavier than OR Ferrosi, lighter than OR Cirque. Unlike Cirque, they don't have velcro adjustment tabs to optimize fit in the waist – a bit disappointing given the price. One big gotcha – these run *very* big. Definitely order a size smaller than you normally wear, but they still may be too long. My normal size is 34; size 34 Ferrosi (and Large Cirque) fit me just right, waist and length. In the Prusik, I had to drop to a size 32 to fit me in waist, but it was too long. Size 34 was ridiculously long... They only come in Standard length (no Short or Tall).Nice pants, but docking a couple stars because of the really weird sizing. Perfect for those who normally order a Tall size, but even then, order a size smaller than normal.Great pants, You stay warm in the cold and not sweaty with hard climbs. Very durable. Very expensive, but if you don"t use them hard then that"s your fault, they are worth every penny!
