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

      These pants are the only pants I have found that fit my body. They can be rolled up in hot weather to capri length and in winter I add a layer of silk long-johns. They work well with a casual top for camping or I can put on a nice blouse with a blazer and go out to dinner.
      I hope that they add even more colours to their collection and please, please, please don't ever discontinue this item or I shall be pantless.

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

        These pants are comfortable and move with you. The waist is adjustable as are the pant bottoms. They fit over boots if you leave the buttons at the bottom of the legs open. The pockets are deep and there's even one with a zipper for stuff you don't want to slip out.

        I've bought two pairs and am ordering a third today! The best!

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

          I bought these pants for a month's travel in New Zealand and wore them the entire trip leaving other slacks in my suitcase. I have found it difficult to find petite pants that fit all my requirements. These pants fit well, pack compactly, travel well without wrinkling, are light weight and super comfortable. A second layer can be comfortably worn in cooler weather.If worn in rain they dry out very quickly. They are the most comfortable pants I have used for travel and I plan to buy several more pairs for future trips and wear them exclusively.

            These are the perfect travel pants! You will also find that you will want to wear them at home. They fit very comfortably and perfectly at the waist. They remind you not to overeat. The three zippered security pockets were great! Two passport size pockets! My pants got completely crumpled up into a ball. The wrinkles all fell out quickly. Very, very, packable. They took no room at all! Buy both pairs; the khaki and black. The black can be used for dressy functions. Buy the 6 Petite if you are 5' 1" and 118 pounds. No hemming required!

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

              I will buy more of these or similar, for multipurpose athletic/travel. Great lightweight pants, they can go straight from mountain foraging to biking to scrunched into my bike bag, and then can go out to dinner. I bought the petite (short) and they fit me just fine - perhaps they would be too long for someone with really short legs, but they would be very easy to hem if that's the case. The adjustable hidden elastic in the waist will come in handy for comfort and size changes. Royal Robbins is my new best friend.

                These pants are comfortable until hot weather. I have found that they stick to my legs in hot and humid weather, which makes them unpleasant. The waist rides up when sitting. The "short" length is too short for my 5'4" height and the regular size is too long...

                I'm a big girl (200+ and only 5'4") and the 18 petite is just a perfect fit for me. Looks taylored and neat all day whether I'm at work or going shopping or for a walk...comfortable no matter what activity I'm doing. I also have dogs that jump on me but that doesn't bother me one bit as the fabric is so durable and quick and easy to clean if it does get dirty. This is a great travel pants! For any one who has large size clothes, you know how much room a few size 18 jeans take in the suitcase. These are so lightweight and packable...love it!

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

                  I bought the khaki in petit size 4 when I saw it in REI store [...]. Being 5'4" 115lb, this size is very comfortable. I have to use the back tabs to cinch the waist a bit tighter or the pants tend to slip down past my hip bones.The length and pant leg width are very comfortable when wearing and should accommodate a pair of long-john/thermo in the winter time. They are not too thin or too thick, should be very easy to wash in the tub and dry overnight. The material is somewhat breathable in hot and dry weather. The khaki color is fairly true, not too dark and not too light.The pants pair perfectly with White Sierra Gobi Desert shirt. Together, they are perfect for traveling, camping, and light day hikes.Am very happy with the product. Although I hardly ever pay [$] for a pair of casual pants, I am keeping it because I can see that I'd get many, many use out of it.
