"Great fitting pants. The sizes are for your waist size. I am 6'2" @ 180 pounds with a 34 waist/33 inseam and they fit well (for additional reference, I wear a Carhartt relaxed fit 34x34 pant as well as a Dickies Flex Relaxed 34x30. The inside of the tag for the Emerson pants I ordered says 34 waist x 32 inseam.
Knee pads are easy to install but a little bulky. There are pull tabs to cinch the waist a bit more if you need it. The pants don't drag and aren't baggy, and there are plenty of pockets for equipment. They are a little on the heavier side because of the ripstop material. There are velcro adjustments at the leg cuffs to cinch around boots if needed.
All in all, pleased with my purchase and the fit of the pants.

"I personally really love these.
I am a 32-34 waist and the size 32 does fit me, and I use a belt battle belt.
Pros
+These really impressed me, super nice and tight fit, and the built in knee pads I loved.
+There is a lot of velcro adjustment to keep it tight to your body, which I felt a noticable difference in fast paced gameplay it really helped a lot.
Con:
There are some tears here and there, and I use them a lot. This is not super normal in comparison to my surplus BDU sets I have, non have tears and I've used them for years. I have not however used other pants that are this style with built in knee pads, like the 5.11 etc, but I really do think these combat bats are much better than standard BDU for airsoft use.
Overall: For aisoft use, I do highly reccomend these even for their price tag. If you are used to normal surplus BDUs or no uniform, this will really step up your game as they fit very well and offer a ton of protection.

"I am very impressed with these pants. Not only are they comfortable, they're near unbreakable.
Pros:
•Stretch panels feel great and allow for unhindered movement! I cannot emphasize how great stretch panels feel.
•Knee pads are adjustable on both the X and Y axis
•Extremely Durable Material
•Adjustable flare/tightening around the ankle to fit the width of your boot/shoe
•Cut higher up on the crotch as compared to a bdu. I love combat pants for this reason. It's super comfortable and allows for unhindered movement. Say goodbye to blousing!
•Beautiful camo pattern. I got mine in ATACS-FG, and it's phenomenal.
•They come with knee pads!
Cons:
•The knee pads are very wide. They extend roughly 1/2 an inch past the pocket, making them prone to snagging. Not a super big deal though, just swap them for crye knee pads.
This is an amazing option if you want crye quality pants, but don't want to pay the steep price crye charges. While both Emerson and crye are fair in their pricing, I believe Emerson has outdone themselves.
*AS A SIDE NOTE, WASHING INSTRUCTIONS CAN BE FOUND ON A TAG INSIDE THE PANTS. DO NOT WASH WITH HOT WATER, AND ALLOW TO AIR DRY.*

"I bought these pants in AOR2 size 32 for American Milsim, and I've gotta say; they held up well for their price. I have a few reservations out of the box, one being the color of the knee pads, where I bought Crye Inserts instead. The other issue was that even for my height of 5'5", the bottoms barely reached my ankles, making it difficult to hide my skin or socks.
The first game I took them to was Copperhead 7, where I ran for hours, crawled around the dirt, and constantly took a knee. The pants held up well, the straps never came loose, and there were no visible tears.
The second game was Reindeer Games XX, which just ended yesterday. A few problems came up, one of which was one of my knee pads coming out at the end of the second day. No biggie. I was constantly crawling again up and down hills. There was a visible tear at the bottom of my right knee pad, big enough for my to stick my finger through. This issue might become worse throughout the months.
I'd say for only $95 right now, these pants are worth the price. If you want a pair of paints that'll last you years though, I'd rather you save up for the bigger brands like Crye Precision or UF Pro, which have seen a great length of use by militaries around the globe.

"Pants do fit a tad to the small size out of the box. Highly recommend buying a size up. DO NOT WASH THIS IN HOT WATER IT WILL SHRINK DRASTICALLY AND WILL NOT BE COMFORTABLE AT ALL. Also recommend replacing the knee pads out of the box with something a bit more sturdy as the velcro will fall off in the course of a month

"I wear a size 30x30 and went a size up (32x32) to be on the safe side and they still fit really tight. Wouldnt be a big issue except they put the rough side of the velcro closure facing inwards and it constantly rubs against my belly making it very uncomfortable if you dont tuck your shirt in. I imagine its even worse when ur actually moving around playing and getting all sweaty... If not for that, I would rate them much higher.
