What is the fit like?

Troubleshooting
Pants feel too tight/loose in the waist.
Adjust the internal side elastic waistband. If the fit is still not ideal, consider trying a different size or using a belt with the extra-large belt loops.
Water repellency seems reduced.
Ensure the pants are clean. If performance has diminished after several washes, consider reapplying a DWR treatment designed for technical fabrics. Avoid fabric softeners and harsh detergents.
Stains are difficult to remove.
For fresh stains, blot immediately with a clean cloth. For set-in stains, use a mild detergent and cold water. Avoid bleach. The Teflon protector helps prevent many common stains from adhering.
Pocket closures or zippers are stiff.
Gently clean the zipper or closure area with a damp cloth. For zippers, a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant can help. Ensure no debris is caught in the closure.
