Perfect fit and works with Sidi Adventure 2 boots
Great pants. I'm a 33" waist and 6'5 195 lbs. Ordered the size 34/34". Pants fit perfectly although a belt is mandatory for me. They fit over my Sidi Adventure 2 boots with plenty of leg length for my 36" inseam and do not ride up when seated on the bike (Yamaha T7). The ghost armour leaves a bit to be desired in terms of off road protection, but I can swap out the CE Level 1 stuff from my other pants if doing more serious off roading. That being said the ghost armour is very nice for a casual weekend road ride and walking about for sure. Another quality Klim product IMO.

Comfortable but not for shorter riders
Ordered a 34 waist 30 leg, I am a shorter dude being 5' 8". Usually I am a 30" inseam but find myself walking over the cuff with these. Waist sizing fit good though! If you're a taller rider these would be great.

Bon pantalon pour l'été
Pantalon confortable et raisonnablement protecteur et assez versatile pour être porté les jours assez froids ou assez chauds... mais pas trop. :-)

As good as everyone says??? Don't think so
Not sure what I was expecting but from all the reviews of how great they are just a bit disappointed. They are good but fit is weird.

Questions
Does anyone know if these would fit over a pair of Alpinestars Toucan boots?
Mine (34x34) fit over the Sidi Adventure 2 boots with plenty of room to spare so you may be ok with the slightly larger shin protection on the Toucans. Hope that helps.
