Definitely warm and cozy, with functional pockets. I'm 5'4" and the M is a little long and bags at the ankles, but as a shorter person I'm used to this :) The waist is super roomy--I have to cinch the drawcord pretty tight (and I do not have a small waist, fwiw)--but I wish they had a little more give in the thighs. I've experienced this same fit in other OR pants: too much room in the waist, while tight on the thighs. This seems odd to me for a brand serving athletic women--many of us have burly thighs!! Anyway, I may end up returning yet. Still looking for the perfect pair of fleece pants!
I bought these pants and was so excited to try them out for a cozy travel pant. And they are definitely soft and would have worked great if they hadn't run quite large. I looked at the size chart and got the size medium, and they fit my mom who wears a size 12. I had the same problem with the Cirque pants. I usually wear a size 4-6 in other brands, and in the OR Ferrosi pants the six fits me great. So, if you are on the fence about sizing, it might be worth considering sizing down in this pant. I'll likely pick up the more fitted pants version of these in the smaller size soon.
These joggers are so comfortable and warm I don't want to take them off! They also have a really nice cut and fit. I'm an athletic XL, 5'8", and usually wear a size 12/14 in pants. Cheaper brands of joggers usually bunch around the crotch area, are either absurdly large or small around the waistline, and are almost always too short for me. These are designed perfectly though. I also have a cat and assumed these would be constantly covered in fur, but the waffle fabric doesn't attract hair or lint!
I ordered a size up based on at least one other reviewer here saying the waistband was too tight. I probably didn't need to do that, but I've ordered the Ferrosi leggings from OR before this and that waistband was not stretchy like a legging should be at all, so I thought better safe than sorry! Sizing up the pants are just looser around my hips, but some other reviewers are correct in the fact that near the ankles these sweats narrow out and are more skinny. Fits perfectly around my lower part of my legs, I don't really regret sizing up because they're still super comfy and I'll lovingly wear them around my house or after skiing. I could also add layers underneath so I guess that's another positive to sizing up. I'm still giving 5 stars because comfort is great, the pants themselves have some airflow with the grid technology, and I'll wear them a lot.
Completely obsessed with these sweats. I'm all about comfort and warmth and these provide just it! I actually like them so much, I'm considering getting another pair. I am 140lbs and 5'4" and a small fits well with some wiggle room. I have been wearing these for both outdoor activities and casual wear. The maroon color is super cute with multiple other colors. I'd recommend these sweats to any outdoor enthusiasts!
Oh my gosh, yes! These are comfy and cozy. I wear them most often in the fall camping or around the house. The microgrid makes them warm without getting hot if that makes sense. I sized up because I wanted the joggers to fit more like sweatpants so they are looser around the calf and ankle. I also go between sizes a lot so I opted for larger so they would be roomier.
Great pants as an extra layer on cold ski days. Worn then under a shell with a base layer and have been plenty warm. Also great for lounging around. I am 5’9 135lbs and ordered a medium and find them to be a bit big. Kept them and later ordered a second pair because they are so great. Got them in a small and they fit better than the medium.
I absolutely love the OR Trail Mix pullover and hat, but the joggers were a bit disappointing because the waistband felt too small. They also feel bunchy around the hips. The material is wonderful, I just wish the fit was a bit more streamline and smooth vs. tight waistband and bunchy.
Soper comfortable and warm without being too stuffy. I'm 5'7" and a 130 lbs and ordered a medium, which was a little big in the waist, but works fine with the drawstring. Size down if you want a snugger fit that cam be layered under an outer layer.
I love everything about the Trail Mix line and especially these pants! Thick enough to be warm and cozy, not so thick that they're bulky or hot. I'm 5'7" 150lbs and the Mediums are a perfect fit. Hoping for new colors because I will buy more!
