I just bought some 06 Proto pants in XL. I put them on, and they are a little snug around the thighs. The outside of the pants move around, but it feels like the inner lining (like a swimsuit) is too tight. If feels wierd trying to move. Normally, I wear a 40-42 inch waist pant. When I used the sizing guide on action village I settled on XL. My question is this: Should I return them and go with an XXL, or just lose some weight? The only problem with the weight thing is that it would take a while to lose it, and I want to use the pants at my bros birthday party on the 24th. I don't think I could lose enough weight to fit in the pants. I tried to tell my mom that I think they should be returned, but she threw a fit and said that they'd be too big. I countered with the fact that the pants are supposed to be really baggy. What should I do?

Also, anybody else have a problem like this?

If you needed to you could possibly cut the inner layer out(swim suit thing) if your talking about what i think your talking about. And loosing weight to you seems like its extremly simple

^I know losing weight is hard (i tried before). That's why i'm concerned that I don't think it would be any significant amount (or any for that matter). Also, I thought about cutting the inner liner out, but I'm not willing to do something like that to my brand new $70 pair of pants.

id say return it, for a 70 dollar pair of pants everything should be perfect

**PoisonMushroom** · June 15th, 06:28 PM

That's what I was thinking, but my mom said that i'd regret it because they'd be TOO big. I don't think so. I'll probably return them, but i still want to see what everyone else says.

go to your local shop and try and find the same pants but try on a XXL and then if thoes fit good retur the ones you have and get the XXL.

**PoisonMushroom** · June 15th, 06:43 PM

My local shop sucks. They overcharge and only have like 2 pants in there. They are both medium. No way they'd fit.

oh well that suks bad, idk, it's a risk but if the XXL is to big maybe u could wear a belt. If you had like an old head wrap it could work, just not somthing that would strain on your waist.

return it go XXL. You're a big boy

. Pants work best baggy and are more comfortable.

I've got M (32-36) sized 05 pants. I've barely a 31 waist. I have to since them all the way. The result....very comfy pants, nice and baggy for bounces, and also they ventelate nicely.

also, loose weight. Cut down on your meal portions for a few months.

Thanks guys! I'm gonna return them, hopefully, tomorrow. More than likely, I won't have pants to use at my bro's party (****!). I'll have a jersey, but no pants, that sucks. Oh well, at least I'm getting the pants I want.

good, never settle for something you dont really like

**big_balla** · June 15th, 10:59 PM

Baggy is better... I ordered my team pants snug so that when I lose weight they'll be nice...

They do but they will charge an restocking fee. It's anywhere from 1% to 80%, but they can't be used or anything and have to be basicly the exactly the way they came.

This always gets them-just say that if they are too big for you you can just grow into them and will last longer

I'm pretty much as big as I'm gonna get.....
