As above really. Not many places I can try them locally.
I've got really big legs, 34-36 waist, but usually need 36-38 loose fit jeans to be comfortable.
Was about to get some humvee's till I read that they're not that tough.

Forget what you read, i've had 3/4 hummvees for 3 years, only just replaced after a commute crash wore through the side and knee (even this didn't tear as they use a rip stop type)

i use a xxl to fit fat legged 38" waist, they're comfy.

and as a bonus you get a padded liner with click fast

I've been using Altura 3/4's since the summer and they seem to be pretty tough. Don't wash well - often see last rides dirt even after a run through the Hotpoint - and the supplied belt is shite, but they work well for me.

I bought some humvee's, but found them a bit snug, the inner shorts felt like a size smaller than the outer part. Changed them for endura singletrack and found them much better in fit and quality, although you don't get inner shorts with them. My waist is fairly trim, but I have very big legs.
