Being a little chunkier than average, these took a few extra seconds to get on. But they have loosened up slightly. Comfortable after adjusting the knee pad pockets so the velcro is completely covered. A little draught, but this is my first pair of that aren't fully waterproof. Apparently, according to my Good Lady, they flatter what shape I still have....she asked if they do a non padded version as they look good on me! Tried on lots of different brands at Boston. These were accurate in waist sizing.
