Review on High-Performance Motorcycle Protective Pants With Upgraded Knee And Hip Pads For Motocross Racing And Riding by Matt Barsa

I wear 31x31 pants, and I would rather my pants be slightly loose at the waist rather than tight so I bought the Large, 32" waist. I do have thicker thighs than average, as I don't skip legs in the gym and I have to stay away from skinny jeans. They are very snug across the thighs and way too large around the waist. The hip pads sit right in the middle of the hip where they should, and the jeans stretch to accommodate. The waist doesn't taper and there is enough extra fabric to call these a 33/34. I hesitate to go down to the Medium size as I don't think there is enough give in the pants to fit comfortably for my build below the waistline. I would recommend these pants to someone who is straighter from the waist to the hips, with a small butt based on the style of fit.
