My husband is extremely picky and also 6'5. He refuses to wear anything that doesnt go below his knees. With that being said he absolutely loved these. They were the perfect length, light weight, and gave him enough room to move freely. True to size. I ordered a size up because of other reviews but definitely could have ordered his usual size. He wears a 34 and I ordered a 36. Thankfully they have a drawstring.
