Bloom Upward vs Slims

So for the past season and a half I have been rocking a pair of medium Upward pants. I have been really happy with them, but I want something a bit longer but not necessarily wider, the width around the legs of the medium Upward looks and feels a bit too roomy for me. I'm a really tall, slender dude, so I was wondering how the large Slims would fit. I want a more fitted, but long so its baggy, type of fit.

I'm 5'11" and 135lbs.
Medium Upward legs look kind of wide on me and I would describe the length as correct meaning that they just barely wrinkle when I don't sag and I have my boots on

I think I remember some discussion about sizing with pictures and height/weight specs but I cant remember where.

That was probably really poorly worded, but I think I got across my main points

I'm 6'3 and weigh about 175 and have the slims in large. They fit me pretty tight and a more tailored leg shape to them than the traditional same width all the way down the leg. They fit me pretty much perfect lengthwise too so I would go with a medium

I'm 6'1" and I am wearing slims in large in my season edit in my videos. They are a little shorter than I would like but the perfect slimness.

Are those the saga slims in your video? They have pretty similar measurements the the Bloom slims though.

Thanks anyways and you got me to watch your edit again.

Jake,

I am pretty much the exact same size as you. I think a pair of mediums would be perfect fit for you. Here is a video of me skiing at Mt. Hood this summer in our slims in size medium:

Our larges fit me quite well too although they are more spacious through the crotch and are a bit baggier, still have a tailored look though

HAHA, yeah, Saga slims, I would personally buy bloom just because the company is dope and it sounds like they are pretty similar sizes. My Saga ones have been fine though.
