Pants type

[nksmfamjp]

Do you wear pants sized by waist x length or by general size(sweat pant) like S M L XL XXL?

I ask because I used to wear waist x length pants, but found I needed to change pants to add/subtract layers. On a positive note, they had better fit.

Now I wear the sweat pant style. I prefer it as I can wear athletic shorts under them in the 60's or 2-3 base layers and be good to below 0!

I'm just wondering what others do and hope to improve & lightweight my systems!

I'm short legged, so I have to buy my pants by size and length. A general small or medium will be too long for me.
