Vertx pants

Vertx has a good Memorial Day sale (30% off).   Does anyone wear Vertx tactical pants?   Is it baggy like 5.11 or more like regular jeans fit? 
Is it stain resistant, true to fit?  Mahalo.

Runs small sizes
Buy one size larger
I wear 32 pants, bought 34
Stain resistance is pretty good
The air cooled pants are pretty awesome

I have a few regular weight and a couple lightweight ones and they all run small. Similar to above, I typically now wear 33-34 pants/shorts and 36 fits me well. I used to wear 35/36 and the 36 was ok with the elastic sections on the waistband.

Stain resistance is good. Probably just as good or better as 5.11 pants that I have. I've rolled around in the mud (not red dirt tho) and nothing. The water resistance is decent as well.

forgot to add
if you wear wide sizes, they may be on backorder for a while
sterling got 60W/30L and we got them in january or february after ordering them on labor day
china sent us a thank you card for keeping pre-teen children employed in the sweatshops because it took them so long to sew pants that big

Thanks guys for the feedback.  My waist is 33 but I wear 34 that way I have give in case of weight gain, so would have to order 36 for Vertx. 
Wow, size 60W is Kekaula size.  I wear Lee reg. jeans, but looking for pants in stain resistant, reinforced knees, and cargo pockets but like a jeans fit

i have the "ball cooler" version
and it definitely does NOT have reinforced knees
i do not have the standard version, so i cannot say how those are

Been also looking at the Duluth firehose light pants (not on sale).   Will decide between Duluth and Vertx.

I've been wanting to try Duluth pants. My buddies in AK swear by them and they live and work in them. I am just waiting for any sort of sale.

I'm going to ask them about fit.   I don't like baggy since my legs are skinny and don't look right with baggy pants.  Before at work, wearing some tank suits (overalls), the leg/okole part were baggy which made it hard to lift your leg to climb over stuff.
 They got lots of good reviews on their site. 
I don't think the knees are reinforced but the fabric is supposed to be tough.

London808, how is the fit of the Tru-Spec pants?  In pictures they look like straight leg and not baggy.
