On a similar but different vein than my other pants post, what are some brands that aren't baggy, but also aren't snug around the quads/thighs? I have some Kings Camo Draft pants that I'm not displeased with, but that fit a little too snug in the thighs (and have a tapered leg) that make the pants a little bit of an odd fit for around-town " use. The First Lite 308 looks and sounds in reviews to be a little bit roomier in the thighs and that appear to be a pair of pants that can be worn frequently, but what are some others that are worth looking into?
 
Kings Ridge pants are a little more flared at the bottom and fit a little looser. Sportsman’s Warehouse has a store brand called Killik that makes some good softshell/water resistant pants, and they’re cost effective too. Might be worth looking into.

Buy First Lite if you want to look like a toddler with a full diaper 100% of the time IME. Loved the feel of my first lite obsidian pants, but the crotch sagged like an early 2000’s rapper.
 
Sitka traverse, at least mine than are a few years old aren’t skinny fitting
 
I’ve got thicker legs. I don’t wear jeans but I wear Kuiu Switchback virtually every day.
 
I’ve been pleased with the Black Ovis Granite Peak pants, if you’re patient you can find them on camofire often enough
 
Look at Pnuma, I have 2 pairs of their brush pants . Fit is good.

I’ll agree with this, don’t know if they’ve updated- but mine are a couple of years old. Roomy and slightly tapered. Plenty long.
Also have the Kuiu guide pant. Nice for when the temps drop. Fleece lined.
 
I'm with you RSpeer, but I also want some deeper pockets. Why did they stop making men's pants? Men carry knives, keys, maybe a small flashlight, a pocket gun now a cell phone and wallet all in their front pockets. Why are the manufacturers trying to womanize us?
 
Even relaxed fit jeans are tight on me. Kuiu attacks aren't. Sitka intercept/apex aren't either.
 
Cabela's Microtex. They are light weight and I don't think you can ever wear them out.
