I have a pair of the XKG Ridge pants and those run a tad big for me, I typically wear a 38 or 40 waist depending on the brand. I got a pair of 40 talls since that what was on sale at the time and I've definitely got to wear a belt, but they're super comfy. I'll wear them almost all deer season (with an underlayer if it's cooler) until it starts to dip below 30 degrees. I've had them about 2-3 season now and they're still holding up well, even after getting snagged on some briars throughout the years.
