5'9" & 175lbs and Med. is fine for me. I changed from a pair of sock-less dry-pants and can't be happier with the Tempest pants.

You guys are reminding me that I need to loose weight :roll:

These pants do seem like the way to go. Do the sides have any adjustment besides what you get from the spandex type material?

they fit a wide range because of the elastic top. You need to find the right size for your midsection though.

Last summer I was in the charles river kayak shop in Newton and they had quite an array of sizes.

sull, you're gonna love those pants, i was walking around this afternoon in my home marsh....................................on snowshoes.....................to keep from sinking up to my wazoo in the clay/mud. my tempest pants kept me dry. the water actually felt warmer than a lake i was fishing last week. i was up to my crotch a couple of times and up to my knees a lot. no worm spawn. saw those gulls goin' nuts again. walkin' in that sticky mud was a hell of a workout...........................................mudbuss
