I'm looking into a pair of Armada pants for this upcoming season, although I've never tried any on and I was wondering how they fit - baggy? tight? long? etc. Also, how do they hold up? And if any of you have pictures of yourselves wearing them that you could post that'd be greatly appreciated.

5'10, a large is fine for me, dont look like too much of a gaper. The 3L from last year was pretty impressive in terms of waterproofing and tech, just wish that the zippers were stronger, I broke the back pockets immediately.

They fit almost the same as Oakley baggy fit if that helps.  They are pretty good quality as well.

Baggy fit, durable, and I was super warm in mine even on cold wet days (JUST HAVE TO LAYER) in Mammoth. Venting is killer in these pants when it's hot! I'm 5'6", around 130 lbs (it varies) and got the men's medium and they're definitely baggy. I have hips and I could pull them off my waist/hips without undoing them if I wasn't wearing a belt. These are the Blast Pant from 09/10. It doesn't show well in the photos but they have silver threading throughout the material of the pants and I got a ton of compliments on them, they're pretty much my favorite.

Yup, agree with all the above. I'm 6 foot and got XL's, and they fit pretty baggy.

Agreed. I had the low end pants last year and they got ripped to shreds after a week. My friend had the high end pants 3L pants though and they seem pretty durable as well as having good tech

xl at 5' 7'' was very big. everything last year was sick, but they improved the wear-n-tear issues substantially throughout the entire line.

I've had them for 3 seasons and really like them. Got them on sale also so it was a steal and I love the colors they have. Only gripe is the zippers are a bit awkward, but then again they've probably improved them since Armada is much more into outerwear now, than they were then.
