I love anything Volcom (fan boy) and these, L Gore-Tex pants are no different. I have them in Military, Gold, and Redwood colorways and they perform just as good as they look.I wear a 30/32 jean. I'm somewhat in between sizes for Volcom pants. On me, a Volcom Small is perfect in the waist, but a little short in length. A Volcom Medium is a little to big in the waist, and thighs, but perfect in length, so I just stick with the Small cause it fits me nicely in the waist, and thighs, just a tad short. If I could get a Smedium, that would be perfect.I absolutely love the clean and technical look the L pants have. Streamlined, I'm not a fan of bulky buldging cargo pockets so these having streamlined pockets is a plus. The Articulated Medium fit design is incredibly comfortable, more comfortable than the Volcom Freakin Snow Chino's, and that's saying something because those are freakin comfortable.Add Zip Tech to the mix and it only gets better. No need for bibs are a thing of the past when you can zipper your jacket to your pants....They don't offer much for warmth cause they're shells, at $320+ retail they can be a bit expensive, look for discounts.Volcom FTW.
