I'm 6' 2" but I'm not 300# Seems like manufacturers always make things Big AND Tall.. I'm only Tall. I have a 34" waist and its terrible finding things long enough without being 40" waist. Please drop these!

It's the exact opposite for big and tall. I'm 6'4" and wear a 42 waist with a 36 inseam. Everything with a big waist has a short inseam. I usually have to settle for a 34, when I can find them.
6'2, 215lbs with a 32 inch waist. Pants are either huge in the waist or tight in the legs. I've yet to find that "Just Right" fit for some quality pants.
I feel your pain. Then if you have long arms you're either wearing a parachute or you can never unroll your sleeves because they barely come to your wrist.
I have a few pairs of fjallraven pants, greenland pro, keb and karl. I think the "karl" are my least favorite and least used, the fabric is fuzzy and sucks up dirt (very different from the others, which always surprise me with how clean they stay), and there's something about the cut I don't like.
The fabric is pretty strong and durable, but it's no mithril or anything. I've gotten a few holes in the greenland pants, even had branch stubs poke through while carrying wood logs, and the rear groin section is pretty worn, probably from riding a bike, where it rubs against the saddle. The fabric barely stretches at all, so in some cases where other fabrics would just stretch and survive, this one gets pierced or worn out eventually. All in all though, the greenland pro and keb pants are in a class of trousers of their own, the cut, the pockets, the articulated knees, all kinds of small details make them incredibly good pants.
Don't forget to get some greenland wax to rub into these if you're planning to use them in varying weather outdoors. It doesn't turn them into full-on rainpants, but it buys you some time.
Truer words have never been spoken. I'm 6 foot 3, 195 pounds, and up until I went and tried on some Fjallraven's, I was certain that if I wanted hiking/trekking/technical pants, I'd just have to make them myself. That or settle for capris, because after trying on every stupid pair of pants at REI and never getting a single one to even cover my ankles, I had all but given up. I took a little journey to Backcountry.com's headquarters and tried on multiple hiking pants. Then I tried the Fjallraven vidda pro long trousers on and I'm pretty sure a beam of resplendent sunshine shown down through the window upon them, making sure I knew that they were the most perfect pair of pants I'd ever worn. Apparently in Sweden and Norway they've finally acknowledged that more people than just short stout men buy hiking pants... Fjallraven, thank you for taking the bold leap in outdoors pants and making a 34 and 36 inseam. I've tried on Northface, Mountain Hardwear, REI Brand, Marmot, Columbia, to name a few, and their pants are only good if you're some sort of hobbit or grizzled dwarf making an assault on mordor and need hiking pants. Fjallravens long vidda pros are not baggy, but have room for layers, sit perfectly on the waist (not too high, not too low), are technical enough with sufficient pockets without being over the top and weird looking when you're back from a hike or climb and just want to go grab a bike to eat, and they're made from a durable clean looking material that won't pill or stretch out weird after a few wears. Tall folk - rally round - please vote for these beauties. As a side note, I tried on the regulars and the longs, the regulars weren't terrible and would still pass for some tallish fellows, but once you try on the longs you'll understand that whole beam of resplendent light thing I was talking about. Cheers.
I am 6'4' and I have finally found a pair of good quality outdoor pants that actually fit. I tried these on at a retail location and they fit very well. The length is perfect. I have searched for pants that have a long inseam for two years and these are the only pants I have found. North Face, Marmot, Mountain Hardware, Patagonia, and any other major brand only make short inseems.
