I wear a 32" waist, 34" inseam in a Wrangler and ordered the medium. They fit great. They have some elastic in the waist, so they're pretty forgiving.

Not trying to hijack but I'm also interested in these pants for early season elk as well as spring turkey hunting. What's the durability on em like? I don't mind shelling out the $ if they last. Just concerned about the abuse they'd get during elk season.... brush, etc.

I put at least 20 days on mine. I'd rate the durability as OK, I do have a few small tears in mine from barbwire and one nasty thigh-high branch. I put on some shoo goo and they're fine. I wouldn't say they are a "tough" pant, but are good for a few seasons for sure.

As far as temps, I hunted up to 75 degrees in mine and they were fine.

Much better pant for warm conditions than cold. Wind goes through them.. I'm 6'1 190 and usually wear 34x34 jeans... Large Kanabs fit great with lots of room for layers and comfort when it gets cold.

I love mine very nice in the early season. Like said they do run a little big. I wish I would have ordered med but just went against the washing directions to get them to shrink a little

I would get the smalls if I were you. I wear a 30-32 size pants and the mediums are big on me I have to wear a belt with them.

I'm going to order a pair of Kanabs and was hoping someone could help me with knowing what size to order. I'm right at the bottom of the sizing chart for medium. 31" waist and 30" inseam. I have heard they run a tad big so was leaning towards ordering the smalls. Any info would be great. Thanks.

Don't know if this will help but I am a 33-34 inch waist and went with the M and it fits me perfect. My guess is a M would be a tad on the big side for you. Hopefully someone can chime in that has your waist or a S size.

I wear 34X34 and bought L, they fit great and are very versatile, got a barb wire hole in them that the mother in law sewed up
I wore them 11 out of 15 days spent in Wy elk hunting in 13, got rained on and dried out quickly, and I favor them over my Sitka mountain pant any day, I will buy another pair

I was pretty envious of my buddies Kanabs last year.

Got two pair pre-ordered from S&S.

I was amazed at how burr resistant they were. We got into some houndstongue, his pants would have half a dozen stuck to them, but mine (Russels) would have 600!
