Perfect for trail & travel...
jxngrrrl2 years ago
I have a couple of these in black & just purchased a pair in the "blue nights" color. I would say this color is more gray than blue...but I am very happy about this. The fit is more tailored than snug...more like pants than tights. They look really good on...very flattering fit. The length may be more cropped for taller folks, but I'm short and the length is amazingly perfect as full length pants. The material & workmanship are fabulous...very sturdy, breathable, a little stretchy & quick drying. My favorite feature is the deep & secure cell phone pocket...no worries about the phone slipping out at all but easy to access for a quick photo on the trail.

Nice but short. Very short
MollyO3 years ago
I recently ordered these pants for hiking in the Smokey Mountains. I am 5'9" and these pants are short. Not short like ankle length, but short like there is 10" of exposed skin between the bottom of my pants and my ankle. I would classify these as 3/4 length pants. How I wish there were better plus size options for taller girls.

Super comfy on the trail
3 years ago
These are great hiking pants/leggings. I could have worn the 2x--I wear 2x REI leggings usually--but I ultimately chose the 3x because it gave them a little bit more "pants-like" feel. The side pocket is perfect for my phone and the leggings are sturdy enough that they don't slide down from the weight of my phone. I don't use the zipper pocket as much but like it for more secure storage (like cards, id, keys, etc). I love these pants and wear them to work as much as I wear them hiking, but they bridge the gap between hiking pants and just wearing leggings perfectly. They're sturdy on the trail and scrambling over rocks but give you a wide range of motion like leggings do. They also wash and wear really well.

really wanted them to work

Really liked the feel on these. I’m pretty pear shaped so these didn’t work. The 1x fit my waist but super tight on thighs/butt. 2x was too lose in the waist.

Cute AND comfy
1 year ago
Wow, these are so comfy yet flattering & cute. They are definitely more of a pant than a legging/tight but I think that's a positive. I love the mix of fabrics, it really makes the pants so comfortable & functional. I have a big tummy but smaller thighs/butt & they fit perfectly but I think they would stretch & adjust to fit a totally diff body shape too. The pockets are nicely placed & useful as well. I will definitely be ordering more!

Loving these
2 years ago
Bought the black pair on Friday; wore them on Saturday and Sunday. I usually wear an 18W in pants; bought these in 2X. They fit me about like the blue pair pictured - snug but not skintight. The right phone pocket is great. I like that the left pocket is zippered, but it's hard to get things out of it. The contents go behind the knit side panel, so it's designed for the right hand to reach in, and that's a bit far to reach. It's also awkward to get the left hand reaching backward. It's a reason to use the a payment app on the phone vs. getting out the wallet. :) The waistband is comfy. The knees don't sag, because they're made of the nylon material, not the knit. About length - I'm 5'10" and these fit me like a 7/8 legging. I would like to see these in both a longer length (3-5 more inches), and a just-below-the-knee length for summer. Seriously considering getting these in blue and purple (yes, Graystone is purple IRL).

Buying a second pair
3 years ago
I recently purchased a pair and feel like I can live in them. Great for long car rides and walks outdoors. Not sure about the deep pocket on the right - a phone will tug pants down. Right length (above the ankle). Can see many uses for them. I bought up a size 3x for a looser fit and I wear an 18/20 pant.

I like the way the pants feel. They have a lot of give and sufficient pockets to hold basic things. I followed the size chart and the size I bought fit straight up like leggings. There is also no way they have a 31” inseam; these hit me mid calf and I have a 33” inseam.

Hiking in the cold and they were very comfy. I liked how the pocket design doesn’t leave bulky lumps on my hips. I’m a big girl and these prevented chafing and wicked really well. Also was able to layer them over a base layer and they worked great.
