We have been looking and searching for performance pants for my son that will also fit his very slender, tall frame. He is 12, but we needed a size 16 pant because of his height. The problem with most pants is the huge waistband that he gets when we buy a large enough size for his length. Having the adjustable waistband is SO helpful! (Thank you!) Now I just need to buy more of them so he can wear Southern Tide all year to school.
