      Comments about Royal Robbins Cardiff Stretch Traveler Pants - Women's:

      For the past 4 years (?) these are basically the only pants I buy. I have about 10 pairs in black, beige, bark, and I will buy the new brown available now at REI.

      These pants fit beautifully. Though I think they look best on women who have a waist and a round derriere rather than a flat one. The stitching on the side is very flattering to this type of figure.

      I wear these pants every single day for all my activities: pottery (the clay dust does not stick on the material), hiking, biking, going out with a casual or more dressy top.

      They are ideal in hot and cold weather - I wore them in super hot super humid Costa Rica and even swam in them while my fellow hikers stripped to their underwear. They kept me cool after the dip and dried on me even with the high humidity. In the winter (in California or going to Europe) and sometimes in the evenings I wear long johns (from REi) underneath and voila - instant coziness.

      They are of course perfect for traveling - no wrinkling, comfort making waist (wide setting in plane) and those useful ankle closures that prevent your pants from skimming the floor in airplane toilets.

      They look good even after numerous wash but they will look even better if they are washed inside out at 30 degree and folded over a clothe hanger to dry (so that they do not stretch.).

      Notice that there is a Regular and a Tall size.

      These pants are the answer to smart packing, and to stress free dressing with style.

      I hope they never stop making them.

        Comments about Royal Robbins Cardiff Stretch Traveler Pants - Women's:

        Such a comfortable pair of pants - pack small, dry quickly, don't wrinkle. Fabric and style mean they can turn into Alaska-dressy by wearing a silky t-shirt or nice blouse. Perfect to wear on those long plane rides and being a tourist - good zipper pockets for $ and documents. I love my "bark" pair and am ordering a pair in black. Perhaps Royal Robbins will add other colors to their line.

          I love these pants for hiking! What sets them apart is they have no elastic in the waist, and they are NOT low-rise. They are high-quality, well-fit pair of pants that are extremely comfortable.

            I wear these pants every day all year round--wish there were more colors. I used to wear the convertible-various brands-but I've switched. I camp in the winter and wear long underwear underneath them. Having a yellow and black lab, the "teflon" quality allows me to play with them without being covered in hair. Perfect for travel and camping. They are comfortable, neat, and they don't wrinkle. I've washed them by hand at camp site and they dry quickly. MORE COLORS please! I hate to shop so it's great to order from the web and know I'm getting a quality product--but then, I've never experienced otherwise from REI in a store or on their site!

              I bought these pants for hiking when I wanted to look a little better than being in remote areas and found they looked so good I used them on seveal long flights and found them to be VERY comfortable and still looking good at the end of the trip. They are now known as my airplane pants. I have recommended them to friends and they have been equally impressed. Cool, comfotable, dry quickly great casual travel pants.

                Comments about Royal Robbins Cardiff Stretch Traveler Pants - Women's:

                I've bought two pairs (black and the chicory) for an upcoming trip. Both are size 14 with regular inseam but they do fit slightly differently; the black seems somewhat larger overall while the chicory is more true to size. The 14 black also seems to have an inseam that is a tad longer than the chicory. Both are clearly & consistently labelled as Size 14 so I don't know what happened. I like the general appearance & fabric, though, so I'll keep both and see how they perform on this 3-week trip.

                Also, thank you Royal Robbins: With this item I have once again found pants for the woman who is NOT interested in wearing belly pants. They are great and a godsend to someone who has been very, very frustrated with the vast majority of labels when it comes to women's pants. Not all of us want to look like 17-year-olds.

                I wore these nearly every day on a trip to China, including the long flights. Hand washed them
                and they dried in the sun within a few hours. Appreciated the classic look.

                  I have three pairs of these pants and they are simply the best travel pants ever. In the field, they can get filthy; a quick wash in the sink and they are dry within hours. The black ones can be dressed up with a nice shirt and be worn for semi-dressy occasions if needed. These pants fit nicely and are well tailored with high quality fabric and craftsmanship. Check 'em out, travel goddesses!

                    I had hoped to use these pants while on a month long trip in Europe, as well as at home. But the fit was not for me - too snug at the waist, too short of a rise, and a little too short for my legs. They fit but I looked stuffed, not sleek. Wish they would have worked as the fabric is great and would have been terrific for travel. Workmanship was nice.
