Fit guide
Garments, designed for specific activities have features that aren’t always adaptable to general use. For example, cycling clothing is longer in the back and arms. Activity aside, the fit of MEC clothing falls into these categories:
Our next to skin fit that contours the body for no distractions
Our close to body fit with a low profile silhouette for ease of movement
Our standard, slightly off body fit for unrestricted comfort
Our roomy, off body fit for maximum comfort and easy layering
All MEC men’s and boy’s pants are regular rise.
