I love the fit, extremely confortable with roomy pockets. However, I was walking in a light rain and they soaked up all the water like a sponge. I hung them up to dry afterwards, and it took FOREVER. These pants are not pnw friendly.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought a size 6 regular because that’s the size I can normally wear for most of my clothes, however, these do run small. They fit snugly around the waist and were definitely too short for me. I used the size guide on the site and was told I should order a 4 regular. I’m 5’9” and weigh 135 pounds. 4 is typically too small for me but I took a chance with the 6 and the regular length, since tall is sometimes too tall for me. Was going to send the pants back but I gave them to my daughter. She is 5’6” and about the same weight as I, and they fit her perfectly. I’m planning to order the pants in 8 long. Hope they fit!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had these pants in green for over a decade which are still in excellent condition and I ordered another pair for an upcoming trip. They’ve improved. They are perfect travel and everyday pants. Comfortable, easy sink wash-and-dry if you need that, take up little space. Deep front pockets, Velcro close back pockets to hold things secure, zippered extra front pocket for valuables. The snaps to hold rolled up legs are a bonus though I haven’t used them much. I may even go for a third pair! Only negative is they don’t have a crisp and tailored look so if that’s important to you keep that in mind.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Comfiest fabric, lovely color and perfect for outdoors, true to size, dries quickly, mid-waist, straight leg. I want it in more colors!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pants are so comfortable as they stretch with you. I bought a pair for a trip to Japan. After a long day of walking through fish markets, temple and shrines, I just changed my shirt for dinner. The pants still looked great. I was so happy with the pants I ordered another pair after the trip. They have well placed pockets and held everything for a full day of touring. They are stain resistant and washed very well. I am 5'5" and weigh 115 lbs and took a size 6 for a perfect fit.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love these pants. They are great for hiking and other outdoor activities, but they are also great for every day. The are comfortable, fit well, wear well, launder well, and are very durable. The sizing does run quite small however. I had to go 2 sizes up from my normal size to get a proper fit. I will definitely purchase additional pairs!
These are great pants. I have a slender build and so many of these types of pants are huge in the hips. These are not. Plus, I think these pants can be dressed down or dressed up which makes them great for travel. I liked these pants so much I ordered two more pairs in different colors.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have bought Columbia hiking gear for a decade now, and these classic style hiking pants combine classic style and comfort perfectly. The colors are also so cute, and the material is super comfortable. These pants are also durable, as someone who does hard labor in them.
These feel great on but they're a little higher waisted than my other Columbia pants. I don't like them that high waisted, I'm uncomfortable with the high waist. The material and overall fit is great. I wouldn't buy these pants again.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pants are cut, slim and fit me perfectly. The Columbia Guideline said to order a size 2, but I ordered the four. And there’s a little wiggle room, but they are not baggy at all. Now I need to order more colors.
