I have a 32 waist and tried both the regular and short versions of these and these are extremely odd fitting pants. Really long distance from the waist to the crotch and really long legs. The 32 short version of these pants is probably for a 32x34 (maybe 36) and the regulator is probably 32 x 38 (maybe 40).
Good pants but not for my needs, this pants are long 30" but not short enough for me, this pants are good if you use mid size boots because the open leg , I prefer a tapered pants instead, when I tried on, I realized how important are the pockets with zipper for me, at least one at the back.
After only one hike the seem in the crotch ripped open about an inch. Easy enough to repair but for the price it should not have ripped. The water shedding and quick dry fabric work very well. The fit is a little bigger than all of my regular pants of the same size
Brought these pants to Iceland in early December for some mountain climbing and glacier hikes. Wore these for essentially the entire week and they performed phenomenally. Did not get warm or cold at any point. Stretch was never an issue. Buy these pants.
The size is just right for me. Pocket is spacious. I tried on in REI store but it does not have this color. It is the pants that I am looking for!
These hiking pants are lightest weight pants I could find. They get softer the more you wash them. Comfortable enough for everyday wear.
Fit is true to size. A lightweight pant suitable for warm weather. Would need to size up if planning to wear a base layer under it.
These pants fit really well and are very comfortable. They’re made well and can take a beating from hiking and climbing.
These pants a great for hiking, every day or work. They are so comfortable.
Pants spilt at the crotch--both pairs purchased. Maybe worn 5-10 times.
