I was looking for a light and well-designed pair of softshell pants, and was confident these fit the bill. I have done the Torment-Forbidden Traverse, and knew what I was after. Unfortunately these also were some of the worst fitting pants I've tried.
I typically wear a size 34 waist, and have skier/alpinist thighs. The size chart on the NW Alpine website descibes size L as fitting a 33-35" waist
