BUY THESE!! Serious comfort but look professional
8 years ago
I have been trying to get on the legging-material pants for work train covertly. These are amazing. They are made of a stretchy, thick performance material that is much higher-quality than super-stretchy/tight leggings and it is thicker so they keep you covered. The sale price less than $40 is awesome and I'm 95% sure I'm going to go look for other colors now to buy more of these exact pants so I can switch over to wearing them to work exclusively. They're that comfortable. The waistband button fly and front pockets are fake (you just pull them on) but back pockets are real. I am 5'7", 120 lbs and usually wear size 2 pants/dresses, occasionally 4. I bought the SMALL (S) and they fit perfectly - not leggings-tight, but regular work pants fit.

Dependable Outdoor and Travel Pants
8 years ago
I bought these primarily for use as travel pants. I wanted something in ponte that would be wrinkle free, medium weight and comfortable. Most of my pants range in size from 2 to 4 and the small fits well EXCEPT for the rise. That is the unfortunate flaw in these pants. The back comes up nicely, but the front rise means that if you have even the slightest bit of "extra" around the waist, you will have a muffin top. The rise comes to about 2 1/2 inches below my navel. If not for that, these pants would be perfect. BTW, I also tried the medium and they were too big in the hips and thighs and still didn't eliminate the issue with the rise.

Very functional and surprisingly warm

I needed some black hiking pants and was looking for something on sale at the REI Outlet, so I purchased these online. If I had seen them in the store, I’m not sure I would have even tried them on. Design-wise, they basically look like black jeggings – they have a faux zipper flap and very thin back pockets – definitely not your typical hiking pants. But they were Columbia-brand pants, which is a good thing, so I gave them a try. I just wore them on a hike in 40-degree weather and could not have been more pleased. The wicking technology worked to keep my legs warm and dry. I was pleasantly surprised at how cozy they felt, kind of like heavy-duty yoga pants. They hugged me like a glove and moved right along with me. Stretchy pants usually start to sag after you’ve been wearing them for a little while, so I fully expected to have to keep pulling them back up while hiking. Didn’t happen. Not once. These pants were plenty warm without a base layer in the 40-degree temps, but I can easily see wearing a thin base layer underneath them for colder or less intense activities. I love these pants – so comfortable, functional, and warm.

Perfect travel pants

I bought these to wear as comfortable black pants while traveling in Europe, and they were absolutely perfect. I looked stylish and was super comfortable while walking around non-stop. You can wear with sneakers or heels - super versatile pants! I just bought 2 more pairs just in case. I'm 5'9", 145lbs with a longer torso, so don't usually wear tall pants, and these were great. The small fit like a nice pair of thick leggings, and make my legs look really good. I just bought another small and a medium just in case I want a pair that isn't as tight.

Warm and comfortable - look great

I bought a pair at the store yesterday and wore them today - wind resistant but not clammy at all. Warm and stretchy but kept a very sharp look all day - ordered a second pair today!

Absolutely perfect in every way. I like these better than jeans

True to size. Colors are are shown and are nice. Not a summer outdoor pant. Perfect for Florida cooler weather and winters. There is room if you need to put a baselayer under them if you live in a colder climate area. These pants are a pull-on type pants and do have two back pockets! They also have a fake front snap. I love the soft material. Can be dresser up or down. I am 5'9" 134 lbs 38.5-39.5 hips and the Medium; regular length inseam fits great and the length is long. These are not super snug, don't fall down, don't wrinkle, are very comfortable and non-restricting. I wash them in cold water and semi-dry them in dryer on delicate with dryer sheets only for a few minutes as I do all may pants and they always look amazing! Good pants for handicapped!!

Oooh, these are nice!

The Ponte fabric is a nice weight and all-direction stretchy so they they formed to my figure within a few minutes of putting them on. It's a little hard to see in the picture but they have a flattering seam that runs from the outside of the hip and thigh then curves over and runs through the center of the knee to the hem. And they run long; yay! I 'll definitely buy more colors when they are offered. Until then, these pants have already become a wardrobe staple.

So happy with these

I was worried these pants would be too tight (I'm a 12/14) but they fit perfectly - not too short for someone who is 5'7" either. I love that I can get away with wearing these to work because they're polished enough, but they're basically thick straight cut yoga pants. They're very stretchy and flattering - the picture on the site shows them being a little baggy in the back but that was not the case for me.

Love these! From the moment I put them on for the first time I knew these were a keeper. Fabrics feels really good and this style fits just right. I am 5'8, 175lbs and size M fit just right. They keep me warm and let me move around without overstretching. They keep their form after washing. I wish there was a side cargo-like packet as the back packet was kinda small for my Samsung phone to stay in
