emphasis: er. im not looking for tight or hesh pants. im looking for something that fits slimmer or "straight", similar to saga or trew and some oakley. i am 5'7" 130. i have sessions flight pants in large and they are too big. they are baggy even when not sagged at all and it looks weird having the crotch that high when everything is still baggy. im not a fan of the OG gorilla steeze. just not my thing.
so ns, recommend me some companies that make slimmer/"straight" pants for shorter people like myself. i intend to somewhat sag whatever i get and im hoping to not break the bank. hence me not buying med saga or trew.
+k will be given for help. sorry if its a repost but i dont feel like fucking around with the new searchbar right now

Airblaster, yea i know it is snowboarding. But who would know? Not like it says airblaster on the pants or anything, and who even cares.

I just ordered some Volcoms. Yeah, it's snowboarding material, but they have a skinnier-skinny fit that has pretty high water proofing and breathability. I just got some sick goretex ones for $260ish and are guaranteed water proofing and breathability.

And to the OP, I feel the same with my snowpants right now. I'm just flooded in material and needed to get away from the gorilla steez.

I had some patagonias and they were slim simply a shell. Right now i have some holden slim classics. Special blend makes some slim. L1 kooleys are pretty slim. Then theres the classic sew up the old pair.

Holden in a real size, not xxxs. Nomis makes a slimmer pant too, whatever the one is Derek Dennison wears.

I bought some Airblaster 5k pants. They are pretty cheap, and fit just like the style you seem to be looking for. Make sure you buy to your size (probably a medium)

this. most holdens really arent that tight unless you buy them 2 sizes too small, or sew them in.

i have some north face pants that fit well, straight leg, the perfect amount of baggyness where it allows movement and comfort.
and the durability is great. ive had them for two seasons already

North Face is what I was going to suggest.

Like people mentioned earlier, get holden standard fit in your true size. I have larges and I'm 6'2" 175 and they fit just like you described, maybe a little tight

Anyone have any info on the Moment pants? I'm thinking about ordering some. I'm hoping they fit similar to holden/airblaster but I figured I'd buy from a ski company for a good price.

I just got them. They are so sick. Not to skinny, not to baggy, but just slim. Me gustan mucho.

any idea how waterproof northface pants are? for instance the "slasher cargo"? it looks pretty close to what im after fit wise. slightly baggy up top and slimming down. any idea on equivalency to the standard waterproof rating system? their psi to the standard mm? i live in the often-sloppy pnw so 10k+ or equivalent is pretty much mandatory for comfort.

and thanks for all the legit responses. im going down the page rating up!

I had the same basic problem, i bought corked pants and they were like a parachute. I exchanged them for oakley intent pants and they are perfect, pretty baggy but not ridiculous, and the boot area is nice and big.
