Very loose cut compared to other brands

Size 32 Regular seems quite loose and long compared to other pants I have of the same size.
At 179cm/75kg, I would consider the Short version next time, and perhaps even size 30, though of course it's hard to tell (haven't tried other sizes).
Though they do have cords to tighten the bottom ends - a very nice feature (otherwise I would almost certainly return them and maybe try other sizes).

Other than that, the pockets are very well cut and very sizeable. The zipped leg pocket is not positioned super well - with a harness on, the zipper is covered by the leg loop, though it could be related to the size issue I have with them in general, and is not a big issue anyway - it's easy to adjust the leg loop a bit to reach the zipper.

They seem quite durable (though I haven't had them for long enough to really tell), and are fairly comfortable and stretchy overall.

Are US Patagonia men’s trousers sizes the same as European ?

Hi Seán,
The sizing here is in inches just the same as UK sizing or jeans sizing.

Nice cut with a stretchy cotton fabric

Nice cut, stretch cotton fabric works well, much better durability than the previous venga pants which went through at the knee in no time. Nice zipped thigh pocket is great for a topo or your mobile phone while climbing in a harness. Some elastic in the waist, but I use a belt too.

Only slight negative is that they are slightly (1 cm or so) too short in the leg (Size 34 Reg, for my 186cm 76Kg frame).
