Seeking advise on pants/bibs - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Looking at some Kokatat Tropos Whirlpool Kayaking Bibs for fishing. Looks like there are others that use them.

How is the sizing on them? I'm 6'5" 205 lbs. I've got a 36" inseam and based on that it looks like I need a XXL though I only have a 35" waist. Is the length on these pretty true to the size their website shows.

I have thought about getting another pair of waders online, I have purchased shoes online and almost every time had to send them back multiple times before getting the size right, my suggestion is to get clothing shoes and rods from the source, unless you have already tried the particular piece on for size and fit, you need to be comfy I don't like buying that kind of stuff online unless I know exactly what it is and I know I like it, keeps the dissapointment level down...

If you need extra waders, Sports authority has them 50% off in store. I got some booted neoprene ones last week for $56 out the door. And if you have extra coin to spend, they got nice Shimano Toriums at 50% off too!!
