[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] They are super stylish and can be worn in a city. I have curvy shapes (38-28-38) and these don't show off my tights which is usually a challenge for me with bottoms. I just love how they sit on me. However, because of my hips and thighs, they run half-size small. Otherwise, they would have been just perfect.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pants are great. I made a mistake ordering the wrong size (a bigger one) for not following what the AI was suggesting me. But the material and color is great! I loved it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have worn them once on a hike and so far they are great. I love the quick-drying material. They are lightweight and flexible. I like the length- I have a pair of Vuori Ripstop pants, which are great, but I don’t like how they stop above my ankle. These pants hit below the ankle and don’t look like they are awkwardly too small. These pants aren’t high-waisted which took some getting used to since all of my other pants and jeans now-a-days are high-waisted. But overall these are a flattering fit. I received many compliments on my pants from my friends when they saw me after my hike. 5’4”, ~110 lbs. Ordered a size XS.
I love everything about these pants except I wish they had a full 32" inseam or were available in a tall version with a 33" inseam but I'll deal with them being a tad short since they have the best pockets! Love the deep front pockets with silky lining and the zip front pocket is super deep and holds my phone securely! Side skinny pockets are nice for things as well like chapstick or whatever..... there's also 1 back pocket so these are really just handy pants to have! Love the cinch on the legs as well as the stretchy waist that's super comfy! Columbia please keep making these and do a tall version in the future!
These seem to be decent pants. Unfortunately, I'm between the small and medium--I'll see if maybe a medium might fit. The pockets are great. The pants don't feel too snug, but I can't lift my leg as much as I need to for going in and out of trenches/hiking in them since the seams for the crotch don't align where I need them to for mobility. I'll have to try another pair/size to see if this is a fluke or if they plain out don't work for me.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently bought a pair of women’s Leslie Falls Pants from a department store. I loved the fit and comfort, so I ordered more pairs in different colors from Columbia. The pants are well made and comfortable! The waistband fits high and does not roll down when worn. I am glad to have found pants with multiple, deep pockets, and even a secured, zippered pocket! These pants also have adjustable leg openings which allow me to tightened or loosen the cuff. The pants are made of a durable material that is stain resistant and offers sun protection. I am very pleased with my Leslie Falls Pants from Columbia!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I want to love these pants so bad! They're super cute, a great fit (mostly), nice and comfy (mostly), but have a fatal flaw. The rise is just a little too low, which makes the front part between the waistband and crotch fit weird, it bunches there and looks really awkward, and threatens to give me a front-wedgie (NOT comfy). I tried them on a few times over a couple of days, hoping that it wouldn't be as bad as I remembered, but sadly every time it was. I can't wear them in public and must return them. So bummed! Lots of good reviews though, so maybe it's just my body type (5'1", 125 lbs, size small)
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Was looking for general wear pants that allowed for functional use in various activities including hiking, run around town and home. These pants are amazing! Comfortable, good fit, with stretch to allow for movement without being baggy and look nice. Best think about pants are the pockets!! Cargo pockets on each side that easily fit my phone, a zip pocket to keep items secure as well as "hand pockets" on the side. Hand and zip pockets are deep and allow me to keep a thin wallet and keys. I am 5'10', 190# and typically wear a size 16. XL fit perfect. Have washed the pants at least 4 times with them maintaining their color and shape. Still look brand new. Loved them so much I have ordered a total of 3 pair.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Runs large, waistband has loose elastic and no way to tighten
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the comfy fit, accurate sizing, length good.
