I purchased the size 6, which if you are to believe the size chart, should have a 32 inch inseam. These have a 28 inch inseam and are going back. Otherwise, the pants seem pretty nice. Three stars for false advertising (or inconsistent sizing).
Lightweight and quick dry. Fits perfectly. Love all the pockets, some zippered. The light gray color goes well with everything. SPF is an added bonus.
Like the Nomad pant very much. It differs from earlier Nomad Pants in that it is 1. A slimmer style but stretch allowed me to order my usual size. 2,Only the left thigh pocket has a zipper and 3. the thigh pockets are slightly smaller. I would have liked the same size zippered thigh pockets found on the earlier version of the Nomad Pants The great lightweight fabric has been retained.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a fan of these pants. I love the soft lining around the waste which makes it very comfortable for backpacking when you don't want anything rough to dig into your hips. Also the zip pocket keeps important items (phone/keys) secure but also positioned to not interfere with we since of my extreme hiking. And they dry super quick. Awesome pants all around!
Pros:Fabric, very comfortable, come high enough on the waist. Bought size 14 good fit through the hips, good length. Cons; they run slightly small in general. From knees down are slim fit, not straight leg which I find easier to hike in. Otherwise would have given them 5 stars. I recommend them.
I ordered these for the second year, and found that the fit has drastically changed from the previous year. They used to be really comfortable and great for outdoor activity. This year, they feel really restrictive- tight around hips and calves. I returned them.
Super comfortable and the pockets are surprisingly large (my entire iPhone X fits inside the back pockets without even peeking out). Unfortunately they aren't quite as tough/thick as I was hoping for but they're still great pants!
Fabric is thinner and cut is more relaxed in hips than previous Nomad pants I ordered (w/ same sku#). I really loved the Nomad pants I received a year earlier. These are not as nice so will not order again.
As always, the materials and workmanship were good, but these pants don't fit my body at all. They are made for someone with big thighs. I was hoping for a straight leg pair.
I am a petite 5’4” , 105 lbs. woman and size 2, regular, fit just right except I had to shorten the length. Very lightweight and comfortable summer pants.
