[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm 4'11", 115lbs, athletic build (32-26-36), and these pants fit me like a glove! Usually, I have difficulty finding pants that aren't too long, fit my small waist and muscular lower body, but these pants fit perfectly. The length of them touches the ground, but the pants have an ankle cincher/elastic that allows me adjust to my liking. They're stretchy enough that I can comfortably squat/climb in them. I love that there are so many zipper pockets! I initially bought 2 pairs, (in black and lunar slate) but love the fit so much that I bought an extra. I plan to pack these for my trip to Thailand so I can zip off the legs to wear as shorts when it's hot, then add the legs back on for my flight back home. The quality of these pants are worth the $.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] love love love these! perfect hiking shorts (haven't worn with legs yet) great material and dry quickly as well! fit very cute! 5ft tall and bought a size 0, could have gone down a size as i was tightening throughout the day. overall great shorts, get these for your next adventure!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's very short and unflattering to larger people w a belly. I see the kids wear them (college). They zip off different colors and attach them together. I'd imagined these would be much longer on a shorter (5'4) person. They looked fine on the kids (who don't have any belly fat), but the slight shine doesn't help matters. Sent them back. Older/heavier people are active, too. Being larger doesn't necessarily you aren't active. I walk 5+ miles a day w dogs and work out w weights and aerobics another hour on that. Still 185, tho. Btw. The windproof light fleece jackets used to be 95.00 and are now 150?? That's insane. That's a 50% increase over just a few months!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the white ones. Great as pants and great as shorts. I can wear them as pants in South Texas in summer without feeling too overheated. They zip-off into shorts easily. I like that you can adjust the waist for a better fit or cinch the ankles for a different look. The only complaint is the fabric is pretty thin and a tad transparent. If you're looking, you can easily see underwear lines in certain lighting. But that's not a big deal if you have seamless/light colored underwear. If I were to buy again, I'd probably do a different color. But generally I think these are great pants and I'm happy with them.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great product and feels so nice on a hot hike! The pant has 3 part and most importantly it has a zip at the sections . Super easy to remove it as needed and any full length pant can be converted to capris & shorts.. it has water repellent finish, comes handy when the weather turns bad in a trail! Go for it without a thought
Short arms! My best friend bought this for me and it is a cute jacket, but dang the short arms are annoying! I’m short, with I thought normal arm length, but I guess not. Also, the hood is huge. Kind of pointless to use. And I have straight hair. I got the turquoise blue two toned one. For $110 I only wore it twice and feel it’s a bad design. Not lined either so it’s not going to keep u warm unless u have a hoodie under it. Seems to be very boxy. Not at all fitted like TNF jackets and vests I usually buy. All in all it was a nice gift, just bad designing-unless your short armed.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I can wear them to work (non corporate job), I can wear them out, i can wear them to go hiking. They really are so functional, I can wear them in warmer weather as capri's or shorts and they have plenty of pockets.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely loved these pants during my hike to Machu Picchu! They're so comfortable, durable, and stylish. I felt good hiking 16km in them, and also looked good in all the pictures we took.
The construction and fit of these pants are amazing. They are very practical and well made. I am giving these pants 3 stars because the white color is see through. I tried wearing nude underwear, but they are still see through. I am going to trying a different color and hope for the best.
These are my favorite! Comfy fit, versatile, and adjustable belt is flattering. Bought it in 3 colors, highly recommend!
