With an athletic build I usually hover between a size 40 (waist) and 42 (hips/thighs). These pants in 42 fit awesome out of the box!! I love the slightly higher waistline in the back, roomy thighs and pockets (I keep many items in my pockets and those do not make these pants too tight around the thighs).
The elastic fabric around the waist and hips is slightly more prone to wear and tear (I see some pilling of the fabric already), but I guess great fit and stretch come at a cost.
