Comments about REI Ultra Light Pants - Women's Petite:

I'm 5'1, and finally a pair of pants that I don't need to alter! The small size and length fit great. I wore it in a spring snow storm, and it definitely was waterproof. However, the nylon pants seemed kind of cold next to my skin, even though I wore some long johns. I'll need to wear some thicker ones in the future. Because my legs were cold, I couldn't figure out whether the pants were windproof, as advertised. The pants make a "swish swish" sound when you walk (hence one less star), so if the noise would bother you, you may want to look for something different.

Comments about REI Ultra Light Pants - Women's Petite:

Finally, some great rain pants for the short girls! I'm 5'1" and these fit great. I didn't find there to be much noise with these pants when walking. My only complaint is they are a bit "puffy" in the front so they are definitely not slimming but they are exactly what I need for Seattle hikes and camping. So glad that REI has petite sizes now. Great pockets, and they have cinches if needed in the waist and at the ankles. The material feels nice and soft.

Comments about REI Ultra Light Pants - Women's Petite:

I had to buy a pair of waterproof pants for work and was leaving the next day. They carried these at the REI store, so I bought them. The length is perfect. I'm 5'1" and they're just the right length. And more importantly, they work. I was in the Tongass Rain Forest and I just slipped them over my pants and didn't get wet at all. The one odd thing is the exterior is soft and comfy, but the interior felt a bit more rubbery and cold. Not an issue with pants underneath, but it would be nice if the inside was a soft as the outside. Also, the elastic waist creates a poofy belly thing, but it was comfortable and functional (guess you don't need to be fashionable when it's poring down rain). There are also options for cinching and zippers at the bottom too. A good investment if you're going to be in wet environments.

Comments about REI Ultra Light Pants - Women's Petite:

At 5'2", the petite sizing was spot on. It was the perfect length, and fit. This pair of pants are the lightest pair I've ever pulled on over my slacks; they're barely noticeable except they also keep my legs warm as an added layer of clothing. Water beads right off, so when I got to my car after walking in the rain for over an hour, my car seat stayed dry because the pants shed the rain so well they stayed dry! An added bonus is the convenient small duffel stuff sack that the pants tuck into; it makes it easily portable and light in my backpack! These pants give me no excuse not to take a long walk in the rain.

Comments about REI Ultra Light Pants - Women's Petite:

I ordered a medium but it seems too big and baggy. I usually wear an 8 or a 10. I am 5'2" and the fit is a little long but the legs have drawstrings that fit. I plan on using these mainly for rainy days on the golf course and they have plenty of pockets for tees, balls, etc. I will probably send these back and get the smaller size.
