I'm 5 ft 10 in 165 lb wear a jean size of 32 x 34 . I sized my favorite pair of denim jeans and according to the sizing chart I needed an XL. Unfortunately, that's at least one size too big. However, I've been wearing a belt with them and the size hasn't been an issue . (I'm a gen'xer and I like baggy pants . )That's the only reason I gave these jeans 4 stars. I figured I can wear leggings underneath of them on colder days or heavier armor underneath of them when dirt riding. I'll probably order another pair in the correct size. The denim is very soft and comfortable. They're a little chilly below 50° F with the wind chill but they're nice and comfortable on warmer days. I also treated them with weather protectant spray. I currently have no experience with the durability of these jeans during crashes.
