Pants for these thunder thighs!

Okay, I've had enough of it. I'm 5'9" 155 lbs. and I've worn a size 30x30 pants since I was in eighth grade! Since I've started cycling about a year ago, my thighs have become much larger and I'm having a tough time finding pants with enough room in the thighs. I don't want to go up to a 31/32x30 because then they won't fit right (i.e. saggy ass and bunched around the belt). This is such a problem that there are some pants I can't wear because if I had to lift my leg to get into my truck, the leg would tear on them.

I'm just wondering what pants you guys have had good luck with because I can't be the only one with this problem. I've even taken to going commando in some pants just for the extra room.

If you are referring to blue jeans try the same size but in the loose fit instead of the standard fit.

I'm referring to blue jeans and khakis. The pants I buy usually don't have a loose or baggy fit. If they are "loose" it is usually in the leg hole or with a little bit of flair at the bottom.

Wear stuff with stretch in them.

Perhaps you should consider a new look:
