Seems like an odd question I'm sure. However, I just ordered my first set of puffy pants (at a great discount) as I'm starting to get more gear for Kodiak Island goat hunt next year. The pants are UA storm ridge reaper pants and always struggle with sizing as I fall between L and XL almost every time. I tried both pair on over my Kuiu Talus hybrid pants on. The Large fits great in the waist, not too snug but could get away without any type of belt, but are slightly snug in the legs. By that I mean they are most definitely touching the pants, but not to the point of compressing through to the outer layer. The XL are big enough in the waist I can pull them up and down without buttoning meaning I'd need an additional belt probably, but loose enough in the legs that there feels like good air circulation that would be allowed and zero compression of the down. Any help/points would be appreciated.
