Hey fellow NSers, I'd need some help. I'm going to order FD V4 pants, but I'm not sure if i should take L or XL

I'm little bit under 170cm or 5,6", I sag my pants, and I want them to look something like this when sagged:

Why? You can wear baggy pants without looking like a midget on skis.

At 5'6" you're 170cm tall, a large FD jacket and pants when laid one on top of the other measure 180cm long, and the XL measure 203cm long. At 5'6" I would go for the large and then use suspenders, get the suspenders working well and your L pants will look XXL.

If you're only 5'6" L would probably be perfect. Best thing bout FD is the suspenders so you can sag em quite far. But yeah i'd say large cuz XL would probably be wayyyyyy too big for the waistline.

bump because another question. I emailed FD, and they said the leg is 27.5cm wide in L size V4 pants. Well I had Salmon Supernatural pants which leg is 27cm and their size was S and they we're tight from the boot. can it relly be that FD L has as wide leg as Salomon S?

Hi Kridd, we'll be introducing our new interactive style/fit guide in the next few days. In the mean time, if you want them pretty baggy, go for the large. If you want them not as baggy, you might even be OK in a medium, but based on that pic we would recommend large.

We look forward to your order!

There's also a zipper at the bottom of the legs so you can open them up a bit more, at least there is on the v3

seriously if you want to look thug just get xl, the only difference between L and xl is xl is a bit longer, dont trust the FD website, and you can never go to big so xl is the way to go always
