Outdoor Research  Shastin Pants - Women's

These pants feel very durable. I love the colors that they come in. I have mixed feelings on the red built-in belt. The belt is not my favorite feature. I would rate these higher, but for field pants I would really like to have a little stretch or give to the pants. They are pretty stiff. I'm 5'7 and 160lbs. I normally buy size 10 in most brands for jeans, shorts, etc. But with these I found that even the size 12 is a little tight. Probably not the best pant if you are climbing, bending, crouching, or kneeling a lot. Just not enough flexibility with these pants. I do really like how they look and they do feel like they will hold up during field work.

I orded one size up after reading they ran small....and it was still too small in the waist and butt. I'm not even sure if two sizes up would do it. Beware! I had to return.

I was nervous to order my regular size because the reviews said they ran small. I am 5'4" and 210 lbs so I have curvy hips and butt. Size 14 fit but was a little tight in the hips and butt for my liking but they still buttoned and "fit." The material was exactly what I was looking for- something thicker and abrasion resistant for hiking through thorns/brambles. I'm afraid a size up would be too big. I just couldn't commit to them.

I've been looking for a pair of outdoorsy pink pants for a while but never seem to find a short size so these were perfect!! First pair of OR pants and so going off the size chart I got the 2. For reference, I'm 5ft1" and under 110lbs. For anyone wondering how the belt works, it was three little loops so you can adjust it based on your waist which is handy and makes for a good fit. Wore them climbing for the first time this week and I found they had good stretch when moving around! Big fan :) Only change is I wish the short size was just an inch or two shorter since they're still a bit long.

I'm 5'4", 125 lbs, 27-28" waist and 36" hips, flatter butt, short legs. I got a size 2 Short (ignoring the size chart) because I usually wear around a 2 in most brands (0 in Prana Halle, 4 in Lulu tights, 2/XS in Athleta, 25 in Madewell jeans). The fit in the legs is a tad long, loose but not overly baggy. The waist has a bit of give but the belt is completely stiff and I think a bit too small. The fit in the bum and legs is good but the waist is too tight to sit comfortably in so I'm going to try the 4 Short. The material is awesome. Feels really sturdy but comfortable. The burgundy color is really beautiful. I'm hoping to wear these rock climbing and in cooler temps for hiking. Pockets are decent size.

I specially was looking for some hiking pants that also looked cute. These pants DO look cute and they are comfortable for casual activities and they are durable and they have deep pockets that's are legit. However for outdoor activities and these aren't it. I like a higher waist pants so that the hip belt of my backpack won't come in contact with my skin, because the last thing I want is a rash. Secondly there is not enough stretch in the pants, so when I am hiking and I am lifting my legs up it feels as if the pants are working against me and I am working harder and become more exhausted. Thirdly the these pants do not breath well so I end up sweating really easily, I imagine maybe they would be good for cold weather situations, however I would prefer wearing stretcher pants with a base layer under. In the picture I saw on IG, the girl was skateboarding in the them the fabric was all wrinkled, which made the pants look like they were a bit of a lighter weight fabric, that's not the case it's a pretty thick fabric and the stretch is VERY minimal. Still cute and love the color so I am gonna keep them, but I won't be hiking in them. I had a really hard time deciding if I should give them 4 stars or 3, as I wanted to be fair to the company. Ultimately I feel like my loyalty should be with the customer so I think in all fairness since these pants are advertised as hiking pants I am gonna have to give them 3 stars.

I really wanted to love these pants! In fact, I did until I put them on. The material is great and so comfy. However, I am 5'7", 135 pounds with an athletic build. I usually wear a size 6 and ordered that same size. These pants fit perfect in the thighs and waist, however they were WAY too small in the butt and gave me a huge wedgie. I'll try and return and order a size up and hope that fits better since I really loved how comfy they felt if not for the wedgie. Beware if you have a more muscular bum and consider sizing up.

First pair of pants I received were too big (10) so quick and efficient return with size smaller ( size 8, at 135 lbs, 5’8”) resulted in a wonderful summer garment that fits great. As someone who is not curvy, these feel surprisingly tailored for me. Love the patch pockets front and back too!

I really do enjoy these pants! The color is so pretty, and I feel secure in them. I do agree with the other reviews on the awkwardness of the belt, and the overall stiffness of the pant. I don't do anything too active in them for that reason, but they're a wonderful everyday pant! In addition, the pants fit me perfectly, but if I were a little bigger or smaller, the belt might have been an issue. For reference, I ordered a size 6 short, and I am 5'5" 145lbs. I carry most of my weight in my rear and thighs.

The fit works great for me and they are sturdy and comfortable. The belt, however, is a problem. The hook on the end works a bit too well and I actually had a situation where it took several minutes to get the belt unlatched. This is not something you want to have happen if you are needing to "use the facilities" as they say. My friend said "what's the issue? I just cut those off" but I like the feature and understand it's practical use in the field.
