This is my second pair of Arbortec. I have had a pair of the Freestyles for the last season and they have already saved me from the hospital once. I needed a new pair and I'm a sucker for Realtree. I had the same issue with being stuck between sizes as the Freestyle with these standard Breatheflex Pros. I am 5'8" and 170 lbs and wear a 32 waist in every pant which seems like a pretty standard size. For Arbortec the 32 is the extreme for smalls and the beginning for mediums. The mediums are too baggy and long and require a belt (I chose mediums for my Freestyles.) The smalls are extremely tight in the thighs and kaboose but fit well from the knee down. I went with the smalls on this one and will just deal with it since I don't want to wear a belt when wearing my saddle. Also, the little velcro waist adjusters are pretty ineffective on my Freestyles. The smalls are so tight that they don't come into play. My first squat down on the job site I heard something tear in the crotch on day one wearing them. The stretchy gusset was not enough. I have a cyclists build with bigger thighs so maybe this is part of it. when I open the rear vents I have just enough room to work comfortably with a little more give. Speaking of which, these are warm as hell. It's early spring here in Appalachia and even so, they have already been a bit too hot. Summer can be brutal in these if you live in warm/hot climates. Unfortunately I end up wearing my cl***ers on the really hot days. It's a bummer when you roll the dice on an extremely expensive pair of pants and they aren't bang on. But hey...they are Realtree. As for the protection side of the pants, they work. As I mentioned, my Freestyles already saved me a hospital visit once from a silly mistake that put a MS261 to my knee cap.
