They are a little baggy but not Hammer Pants bad. I'm built a bit different than you though, like I have biker quads that are approaching my waist circumference (lol, ok not THAT bad but it is hard to buy pants.) I wear the men's M and short and they don't fit too baggy in the butt or at the top of the legs. But in my opinion they are kinda baggy at the bottom of the legs. Considering most people don't layer up at the bottom of their legs and dislike when their pants snag on underbrush, I have no clue why they made hiking rain gear that doesn't taper at the legs. There's a zipper to get them over your boots, so it can't be an ease on and off thing. When hiking I put my dirty girl gaiters around them or when biking I really have to tuck them into my chain guard leg strap to keep the drive train from catching them.
That being said I wore em on a 150 miler last fall that poured for the first 4 days and had zero problems with them. They don't wet out (unless you are a heavy butt sweater, then they may eventually.) And they kept me nice and dry and not hypothermic. They are light and packable but more substantial than UL minimalist rain gear on the market nowadays (like the MH Ghost Whisperer.) I love the stuff for spring and fall trips particularly.
