I also ordered base and plate pants, didn't have but one issue, that is they run small. They fastened but they were tight in the waist. I have not sent back because I am contemplating ordering Honigs, but can't see my size on my honigs pants anymore and can't remember if they run big, small or true to size. If I reorder the GD poly wools I will go up 2 sizes in both plate and base and if they are too big, I will have them taken up some. I do however like the look, feel of the GD Poly Wools.
