Comments about REI Taku Pants - Women's Petite:
REI finally gets everything right! This pant is competitive with brands like Outdoor Research, MSR, Arcteryix, etc. HIGH quality windproof, water-resistant fabric, extremely well made (unusual for REI average construction), and they actually got petite proportions right this time.
I have nothing even slightly negative to say about this pant. Worth every penny. I use them for hiking and snowshoeing at 7,000 to 11,000 feet with either just one base layer or extra fleece for two layers. Windproof, extremely water resistant (powder just blows right off).
And did I mention the fit? That's probably my favorite thing about these pants. Perfect length. Adjustable waist. Room for hips without "diaper butt." No too baggy in the thighs like other REI pants. COMFORTABLE.

Comments about REI Taku Pants - Women's Petite:
I am 5'6'' and 140lb, and these pants (I got size 12p) fit like they were tailored for me! Their adjustable waist is wonderful, thigh vents a savior. I push myself hard to hike fast up the mountains, but unless it's over 55 degrees and raining, I'm not too hot in these pants if I just wear a pair of shorts underneath. I have full range of mobility, and I can easily fit a pair of warm fleece pants underneath for the days on the skiing slopes. I love the fact that I don't get wet from sweat in these pants.
And did I mention how dry I always am? After spending 4 months on a slow moving ski lift in snaining conditions, I've never gotten wet. I've had the pants over a year, and recently they kept my legs dry during a rain and hail storm that made it through my Arc'teryx pro-shell rain jacket. They've passed the test of pelting rain and biking. I've yet to see them fail.
I am a little tired of the expansion zippers at the ankles-I just wish REI had put in a normal zipper instead of just expanding the bottoms of the pants. However, there is a draw-cord around the bottoms, and that does come in handy. It would also be nice if the soft-shell material was a little lighter. I'm planning a backpacking trip, and I am counting every ounce, and these are a bit heafty.

Comments about REI Taku Pants - Women's Petite:
I agree with the other reviewer, the leg length actually fits petite sizes. I'm 5'1 and the size small petite is a pretty good fit. I haven't worn this for outdoor sports yet, but it's been in the low 30's at night and these pants over a pair of leggings keep me very warm, so much so that I don't mind walking an extra block or two at night with the dogs (I usually rush my walks in cold weather). So the dogs love them too. However, I have about 10# to loose--so the waist just fits. I.e., the waist does have velcro on the outside so you can cinch it tighter . . . but otherwise, there's no elasticity in the belt.

Comments about REI Taku Pants - Women's Petite:
I really wanted to love these pants. I bought them because they're wind and waterproof -- and my husband loves the men's version.
The fit was fantastic for me - I'm a 6P and always have an issue with needing pants hemmed, but not with these.
As someone who always is cold, I thought these would be great. That said, even hiking in very windy, cold conditions, I found myself sweating in these pants. My husband has the men's version and they are fantastic with zips mid-leg to allow for ventilation; unfortunately, the women's vents are more on the hips and do not help all that much (lower on the leg would be ideal - like on the men's). The other issue with zips on the hips is that unless you are in cold enough weather to wear a thin liner underneath, the zipper can chafe/cut with each step up when hiking uphill. The pants truly fit well, so I think just changing that position of that venting would help immensely. The pants are heavy, but I was willing to carry them along for the hope of staying warm, dry and comfortable. Unfortunately, these didn't work for me this time but I'm hopeful a future rev on them will, so I'll keep watching/trying future versions.

This is my second pair of Taku pants. They are great. I use them for everything from running in the rain to snowshoeing. They are waterproof and windproof. I have hiked through some nasty sticker bushes and the pants are still intact. They are really well made.

Comments about REI Taku Pants - Women's Petite:
I love these pants! I use them outside in a foul weather, hiking when it's cold and windy and skiing. I don't like most ski pants because they're so bulky and heavy, and too wide from the waist. I can add layers if it's cold or just wear light underwear if it's warmer! The only thing that could be better is the length. I didn't realize this is a petite style, so that's probably why they are a bit short even though I'm not a tall person (5'6"). I like the adjustable waist band a lot too although these fit me perfectly as they are.
