I'm 6'3", 180lbs and I ordered the large. They fit nicely over my R1 pants and hiking pants. I love the pants. I did a winter overnighter in northern Japan and loved having these on when the sun went down. They're lightweight, pack down to the size of a nalgene big mouth, and are super cozy. If you're not sure whether you'll need it, bring it anyway. Along with a good top layer, you could forego the sleeping bag should you need to bivy. | |

| I gave four stars to the top, just because i wanted to see it with a hood. The bottom is perfect. Easy to get in and out when it counts. Wore it in -10 in camp, and worked well with a skin layer, fleece bottom and Gore-Tex bib on top. Keeps you warm for minutes just sitting before you feel that you need to move to get warmed up. | |
