These are possibly the best pair of casual pants I have ever owned. They fit well (I would say they are ever so slightly longer than standard fit as I’m usually a 31 inseam and the 30 fits me perfectly) and are incredibly comfortable. They look amazing and I believe they could be used in a business setting easily. I’m able to move freely and the waist fits well without the need for a belt. The only negative thing I can say is that only one week later REI and every other outlet is sold out of the black color size 34 30. I want to buy 3 more pairs. Excellent product.
I was surprised by these. I’ve purchased products by Vuori before, but never pants. They fit a tad loose in the thighs, but not to the point of being baggy. They also run a tad long, but I’m ok with that as well. I purchase a pair with a 30” inseam, which may be more like 31. The build quality is good and the materials used speak true for the brand. They’re slightly on the higher side, near $120, but they’re on par with the competition as a whole. They next step will be finding out how durable they are as they check all the blocks for everything else!
One day in, and I already love these pants! I should have pulled the trigger on them months ago when I first tried them. I'm 6' , 230ish pounds (muscle covered by dadbod, thick legs, with no butt). Finding pants I like isn't the easiest. The 38 x 30s fit perfectly, which is surprising as I usually opt for 38 x 32 in most pants. These provide plenty of room in the quads, stretching when needed without losing their shape. I love the taper on the leg. The material is very comfortable. Great pockets. The price tag is steeper than I usually like in pants, but you get what you pay for. I'll likely go back for several more pairs in different colors. I'll post an update if anything changes over the next few wears and washings.
I wanted to love these pants based on the reviews. I like the material but at 6' 1", 200 lbs, the fit was a little off for me. I ordered 36 x 32 and they are a bit large in the waist but the calves were like wearing tights. Ok, I've always had strong legs but they almost fit like jodhpur riding pants. Too bad, they seem well made.
I have ordered 3 pairs, all the same size but none have fit exactly the same. Struggled with both waist/leg as well as inseam length -- just seems to be more variable than I've experienced with other manufacturers. Once you land on good pair that matches your body they are truly fantastic. REI order and return was smooth and efficient.
Super comfortable pants. Can be used casually with a t-shirt or wear it with a button down shirt for that business look. I’d love to buy more in different colors when they’re available. Only thing I would ask is as a short person, to have them available with shorter inseams (29 or 28 in). I hate to spend an extra $20 on alterations every time I buy these pants.
I rarely write a review especially when it comes to clothing; however, the Meta pant by Vuori excels in a number of ways. The polyester fabric lays beautifully, is crease resistant, and the texture allows for stretch. The legs tapers narrowly, allowing for a tall sleek look. (If you find the leg pant too long, simply fold it under—the fabric will stay put.) The seat is fuller than I’d like, but then again you get the room necessary for unrestricted movement when it gets hot outdoors. Almost a dressy pant with built-in casualness. Great to wear in office. Who says you can’t look good when outdoors?The deep pockets are another asset of the Meta. My recent experience with two other major international outdoor clothing manufacturers revealed how little attention was paid to the depth of their pockets. Each of their pant pockets was ridiculously shallow and justifiably returned. The Meta also has a rear zippered security pocket. How would I improve on this pant? That’s a tough one. Kudos to Vuori for obviously putting a lot of thought for what has become my go to pant and now a life long customer!
Love these pants. The material is fantastic. My only gripe is that the fit can vary, this includes the way they fit even if they are the same size. Highly recommend trying on in store to ensure a proper fit.
Great for both work and outdoors. Pants fit well, may run just a little long, but these are my go to pants every day.
These pants are extremely comfortable and well designed. The synthetic material is very flexible and holds its shape, doesn’t wrinkle, and is very breathable. The cut is very nice. Feel like running pants, but look like casual dress pants; Useful for almost any situation. Lightweight for travel.
