I am typically a size small and ordered my normal size. I could fit another leg in these pants. They are huge. Size down!
I bounce from 170-180 and the XL allowed for 1-2” all around the waistline. Meaning, I’m able to sit for extended periods (Packers game) or move around comfortably in them (snow tubing). My only beef is that they’re about 3 inches too long, I’m hoping my boots will keep them from dragging. They’re incredibly wide and baggy in circumference just below the calf, down to the ankle/end of pant. The images made them appear to be trim and slim, but they’re definitely bulky from the knee down.
Not meant for women with hips. It sits really low on your hips and it doesn't seem functional for the sport.
Love the depth in the pockets with a key hook left side. I have thick thighs and plenty of space to flex while hiking or snowshoeing or skiing. Love the zipper vents to cool down. Enough room to have layers underneath. 39 hips and the belt loop at top is a nice feature since loose up there but we'll fit on hips and thighs. Size M
Cute but unusual cut. Based on my measurements, XL should have fit but was much too big- in all areas. Zippers are not weatherproof and material seemed a bit bulky. But- the price point was great so if it would have fit- I probably would have kept them.
I was super stoked on all the pockets but the front zippered pockets are right on the front of your hip! Makes it had to flex with a phone in your pocket. These pockets should be positioned more on the side of your hip.
Loose on waist, i will need to add a belt but i know the XS would not fit my thigh area comfortably. Quality seems nice and the pink color is like a faded salmon. excited for ski season.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pant feels comfortable.The waterproof is solid . Great extra spaces to store . Noticed the size M fits like a size L and the size S fits like a size M.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really great pants, super warm, really nicely fit with adjustable waist. Lots of picks and features for excellent functionality. Very happy
Good fit, as expected. Not many pockets but serves the purpose.
