The price looks to be back up to $85 .
I don't know if the tights work, but they sure make me feel sexy . The 3/4 length would be perfect, as I'm always folding the bottoms up to keep them out of my boots.
Still says $49 for me ... did you look in the right place?

Thanks! I must have clicked on one of the other links in this thread.
Kudos for the sizing table trtaylor...
Glenn, Two options that I often have to take as well...
1) Some online dealers(backcountry.com...etc) only stock the standard sizings, so it often takes a little hunting.
2) Often...most materials can be cut and resewn to shorten...keeping the calf width normal without the folding(ie constriction)...?
*Often finding a wide elastic material to sew onto the ends of the legs makes them more comfortable as well...in addition to preserving the shortened/cut ends, making it all possible.

I just picked my up at Pinnacle Ski. The XL fits me good. Gonna use them tomorrow.
Please report back. I am on the fence on this purchase.

I'm not so happy with them. I need the XL because I'm 5'9" and 200+. This makes them long on me and they won't stay in position properly.
That's a point, too. If you're having a hard time getting them to stay in place, they just might be too big in the size you ordered.I have these http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/CW-X-Stabilyx-Tight-Mens/CWX0039M.html?CMP_ID=PD_GOO001&CP=Google&CMP=KNC-Google&mv_pc=r101&gcid=S2000x134&keyword=&s_kwcid=TC|5484|cw%20x%20mens%20stabilyx%20tights||S|b|4850926005(got them off of SAC last spring). I'm 5-8 and 180 lbs and got the smalls and they fit me perfect. FYI these things are suppose to fit fairly tight and as Sev said earlier they will look real small until you put them on.

well based on this feedback i should try to squeeze my ass in a M. but of course they don't have a M on that link.... :-(
Not such a bad problem to be not-fat-enough for the size you bought. Though after paying $10 for shipping, sucks to send them back.I got the insulated ones so they are heavier than the standard ones. I pull them up as far as I can and I still need to pull up slack to get the knees in the correct spot. I think I just need to loose weight and get smaller ones! :lol:

Mine are starting to wear out after frequent use and I don't want to buy new ones until I'm in the next smaller size.
ETA: BTW, here's an easier to read chart from backcountry.com on sizing:
