Just received these pants today and similar to many other reviews, noticed the sizing/proportions are a bit off. I'm a solid 10 or medium in pants and had I not sized down as recommended, the waist would've been too big. At the same time, because I ordered a size down, it lacked the looseness for a comfortable high step (or maybe it's just not stretchy enough). Hopefully the next person will enjoy these pants on their hike/scramble. For reference: 5'5", 135lbs, athletic but not overly muscular (aka these pants should've fit!).
These are my favorite pants. I got a olive green color to start but I'm also going to grab the black. The fit is to size, and they're not too long for a shorter person like a lot of these pants can be (5'4), especially since I like to wear them for climbing.
Quality looks nice, so that's the only reason it gets 2 stars instead of 1. The fit is terrible. The size is "right", but there is a huge bucket gap on my back. Awkward fit. Bummer that REI charges return shipping on badly fit items. I am not buying clothes from REI anymore.
