Comments about REI Mistral Pants - Women's Regular:

I agree with the previous entries on these pants. I bought them to replace my older REI hiking/walking/outdoor pants that are 4 yrs old and wearing thin. Thought I had found a good replacement but I am disappointed after getting these home. These pants are too wide at the ankle, way too long and very noisy when walking/hiking..."rustly" like the other reviewer said. REI...please bring back the previous models! I will be returning these pants.

    Comments about REI Mistral Pants - Women's Regular:

    I agree with the prior reviewer. This WAS the perfect pant.

    I wear last year's model every day unless it is too hot for pants: the attractive fit and accurate length (petite doesn't need hemming), zipper pockets, breathability, stretchy comfort, durability, and water resistance are all FANTASTIC--and black goes with everything!

    They are perfect for everything from bike commuting to pretending you are dressed up, and everything in between.

    True, the flexed knee design is not for everyone, but overall they rate 5 stars IMO, worth owing 4 pairs-- 2 for now and 2 for someday--because the design and fabric are so good, offsetting the cost (even on sale, they're expensive.)

    Sadly, this year's model is a DUD, for me: the fabric is more of a dark grey, the pocket flaps actually make it difficult to use the pockets, and the petite is several inches longer. ARGH!!

    They might work for you, but I won't buy any more this year, as I had planned, unless REI brings back the old model (which I have tried to find--sell me yours? )

    Dear REI, *please* listen to your customers (unanimous to-date) and BRING BACK THE 2008 MODEL, because we want to buy more of them now, and give you 5 stars!!

    REI was crazy to change this pant

        Comments about REI Mistral Pants - Women's Regular:

        I bought the original mistral pant this spring and couldn't say enough good about them! I loved them so much I asked for a second pair for my birthday. I received them yesterday and REI has left out everything I loved about them. First of all huge mistake to change the fabric - Schoeller fabric was soft and quiet. Inside the waist had a band of reinforced fabric that keeps the waist from relaxing and stretching out. The pockets are postioned too far forward on the new design and the leg zippers have a redundant fabric flap. The biggest disappointment is the fabric - it is rustly and loud and nowhere near the quality of Schoeller. I will be returning these pants.
