Purchased these pants (different seller) in person while on a trip during early summer due to unseasonably cold weather on the trip. I wear a size 30 waist in jeans/pants and a 30" inseam. I got the regular size 30. These have a 32" inseam, making them a bit too long for my desires. I wish the retailer had the 30 short version! These are what I would consider a tapered or slimmer fitting pant - less baggy than regular fit, but not tight fitting (of course, one's leg sizes would impact this) Season: I would call these summer cool or spring/fall warm weight pants. I would not call them Summer HOT weather pants - they're a bit heavy for that, especially if doing anything particularly active. They dry fairly quickly. Move quite well with your body. Breath moderately well. Right amount of stretch or give and hopefully if washed correctly, won't lose this stretch. Seems to hold up pretty well, but I probably haven't really put them to a maximum test on durability - so that's tough to say for sure. I love these pants - so much that I may buy a second identical pair, but in the short version!
Had this for a year. They look great and are light. However, the belt loop doesnt stay flat and is a pain to adjust. Plus, the zipper strings constantly fall off. Finally, soaks up water, however, does dry quickly. Would not by again for this price.
These pants are amazing and worth the price. Incredibly comfortable and well-fitting. No bunching under a harness. Slim without being too tight or constricted. I wish they had more colors.
