These are exactly what I was looking for- unbaggy baggies. I'm a tall skinny guy and I use these for road biking. After trying them the first time, I ordered a second pair. Waist size is normal, but the legs are the closest fit of any baggy I've tried, and I've tried quite a few. In fact, if you're going to use them with knee pads, there might be an interference problem (I haven't tried it). And if you're the type with huge barrel thighs they might feel restrictive. They appear well made and thoughtfully designed. Don't know how they'll hold up over the long run but for now I'm quite happy with them.
