I wore these pants daily during my 2650 mile Pacific Crest Trail hike and they did not disappoint. I hiked through thorny desert areas, water crossings, and snow, and these pants continued to deliver. They never showed signs of wear on the five month trip with daily use and they dry extremely quickly. I highly recommend these pants for comfort and durability. I am 5’7, 130 lbs, and I went with a medium. They have a drawstring waist, which worked great during weight loss on the trail. Patagonia, you made a lifelong customer out of me.
Everything about these pants are perfect! This is the most comfortable, best fitting pants I have ever owned and I purchased 2 pairs. I am looking to purchase 2 more! The pants are the perfect rise (mid rise) adjustable waistband so if you gain or lose 10 pounds, they will still fit! They are breathable, comfortable with the perfect length and stretch. I have bought numerous hiking pants and none even come close! I can't stress enough how perfect and comfortable these pants are! A++
Like these a lot! Pros: Soft, stretchy, lightweight, quiet fabric, quick drying, wicking, high recycled content, Don't love the shallow thigh pockets but I did use them to hold my older/iphone during non-vigorous movements because I wasn't confident the phone would stay put. Don't think the elastic cuffs are that attractive but helpful to pull up legs when temps got warmer. Very confortable travel and warm weather hiking pants; relaxed fit enough to layer tights underneath for extra warm when needed. Overall, happy with these. Fits TTS, XS for 26"waist 34" hips.
These are comfy even with multi-day use hiking that I decided to buy another pair just for traveling.
