I am looking for some opinions. I ordered a pair of these, and I am hoping they'll fit. I am 5'8" 145 soaking wet . I ordered 30/32s. This is my normal size in pants. Some 30 waists are a little loose though, but I carry IWB. Guess I shoulda asked before I ordered. Do these pants have elastic liners? Are there plenty of pockets for mags, an such? For those that have them, what is your general opinion?
Ordered me some RR 5.11 Tacticle pants

Im a 34 waist, at 5'11, 185, and I purchased 36 inch waist, so I could wear a iwb holster. The pants do seem to be a little oversized, but that just adds to the comfort level when wearing my iwb rig. Just my guess, but I think your pants should be fine for regular wear, and it would depend on how thick your pistol rig is for iwb wear.
mpthole- I ordered from Brigade Quartermasters at www.actiongear.com .

I am similar to Sapperleader, I wear the 34 in jeans, and got the 36 waist in 5.11's. I got mine a tad long in length, and with the shrinking that I do on mine, they fit me perfect.
I get mine from www.lightfighter.com
I am happy with mine and with the service I have gotten from Lightfighter.

I wear a 36" waist, 32" length, and the RR 36x32's fit me a little loose in the waist (without a belt they hang about 1/2" lower than I like) but the right length. There's elastic in the waist so they will expand a little if needed.
They've got more pockets than you will know what to do with. Absolutely giant front and rear pockets (my wallet ends up in the middle of my thigh rather than under a cheek), mid-thigh side pockets, cellphone/magazine pocket on the front of the right thigh and inner-knee pockets (someone suggested shoving cut-to-fit mousepads in there for integral knee-pads, you have to reach up inside the legs to get to those).
I love my pair, and am waiting for my second pair to arrive, which should be any day now. They are a lot warmer (thicker and much more wind-resistant) than the semi-dressy khakis I normally wear. I'd wear'em every day if I could get away with it, but Mom is the laundry nazi and I'm always spilling stuff on them (but what I wear when away at college isnt any of Mom's business
).
I buy mine from www.thewilderness.com, total price comes to $52ish with standard shipping for a single pair of pants.
