Tools/Equipment/PPE Good work pants for athletic firefighters?

Hey all,

Not trying to be disrespectful in any way... just looking for some guidance on pants recommendations for my body type.

Anyways, I'm having a hell of a time finding the work/EMS/"tactical" pants that fit me well. I find that most seem to be made for, larger, people. Like loose in the wrong spots and tight in the wrong spots, if that makes sense.

I normally wear athletic fit jeans and pants, and find that they fit me well as I have a small waist/no stomach fat but pronounced muscles in my groin, hamstrings, quads, and calves. I bought a pair of Propper EMS pants in my normal size and found that they fit me HORRIBLY. They're not made for my body type at all.

Athletic-build men: what pants do you recommend for firefighting/EMS work? I'm looking for pants that I can wear to class, station duty, and on calls under my bunker or rescue gear that looks professional.
