DNA pants size warning (just a public service announcement) and review

I bought a pair of size 36 Munchie pants on Ebay and recieved them today. I figured these would be big enough for me considering I'm 5'11" 165 lbs and have a 32 inch waist. Well these pants seem to run a bit small. I don't think the dude that sold them to me has any larger sizes, so i'm kinda screwed now. I mean they're not like extremely small, but if you like nice baggy pants, make sure to size up like 3-4 sizes.
Other than that, these pants are tight. Good ammount of pockets, 10,000 waterproofing. Fleece in the ass and knees, and they also have DNA's heatflex insulation. Probably the nicest waist adjustment of any pant I've seen. The cuffs are also heavily reinforced to resist cuts from ski edges and bindings (if they're long enough :/ ). Even though these aren't quite as big as I'd like i'm still able to move pretty well in these. Nice vents on the thighs too.
Overall sick pant. 8.5/10

Ya what are you talking about, I have a 32 waist and the large cake pant is for a 36 waist, so the bagginess is there.

I think my legs are a little longer than some so thats why they might be like that. But I mean DNA is the newschool specific branch of Descente... you would think that since they're going for the "north american freeskiing scene" they're clothes would be made accordingly, even though they're SKI pants. I might expect pants from spyder to fit like that.
I really like the pants, just I thought a pant from a newschool specific brand would be a little baggier.
That's why josh has an awesome thing going on at Jibij. All of the photos of clothes are on actual riders. So you can see how they look and fit, and size accordingly. I kinda wish I would've spent a little extra and bought from them. But I kinda wanted an insulated pant, and the cake isn't.
