Size review here at last
I read all the reviews for both the small and large (36-38 and 40-42) chaps trying to figure out which size to get. I'm 6'2" with a 32" inseam and both sizes have reviewers saying they fit. Waist is irrelevant - both fit to 42" waist, and you could add to the strap if you needed to (just buy some strap and buckles that fit, like a seat belt extension. Length is the issue and Husqvarna has done us no favors trying to explain their sizing. I'm attaching some photos since I ended up getting both pairs. The 36-38 was way too short. Not sure what these reviewers were thinking. You can see in the photo that it's way too short. If you only wear relatively high boots, then maybe okay, but why? The 40-42 are the right size, if not a bit long. Long is fine since they are very adjustable. They're not like pants where you risk having your heels walk on them if they are too long. In the photos you will see that the short one is 37" long and the long one is 41" long, from top to bottom. Northern Tool left a review on one post saying they are measured from waist to ankle. That's somewhat accurate, but the actual length is never mentioned anywhere. So here you have it: 37" and 41". Husqvarrna - why the strange range measurements with no explanations? There is no crotch, so inseam doesn't apply, but still some height ranges would be VERY helpful. If you have a 31" or longer inseam, I'd say get the bigger ones. Smaller, get the smaller one. I'm sending the small one back due to inaccurate website description - not just on Amazon, but also on the packaging and on Husqvarna's website. Quality seems very good and I'm not testing them to find out if they work :). The pockets are very nice. The clips and straps are nice. The fabric is heavy-duty. Stitching is very good. I like that they are not 100% orange. I also like the reflective leg bands. I dislike that Amazon has rotated my photos! Anyway, left photo is the short one, next to that is the long one. I took a star away simply due to the very poor sizing description.
