Thanks everyone for the comments and opinions!

I think I have a better idea on the sizing now, your input was really
helpful.

Cheers,

2010-01-24 Thread Angus
Matt,

I am long of leg and short of waist.  For longs I ordered by leg
length and sinched the waiste to fit, works well for me.  The shorts
I orderd by waist.  The tan colors did stain a bit from the Brooks
saddle, the grays have not.
