Black Diamond  Dirtbag Pants - Women's

I don’t know if I got a defective pair but the butt wore out in less than 8 hours. I wore them to go shopping and then to dinner. Obviously nothing strenuous. The bottom ran like a pair of cheap stockings. I really loved these so much when I put them on. I’m super disappointed.

I tried both XS and S, but neither fit quite right—something about the cut just didn’t work for me. The fabric also feels quite heavy, which makes it less suitable for bouldering in my opinion. I can see how these pants might be great for others, but unfortunately, they didn’t work for me—neither as casual wear nor for climbing.

These pants are everything. I am a busy working mother of two young children and I can't stop wearing them. The material is professional looking enough to wear to work and is especially great for work travel because they are comfortable, durable, and don't show wrinkles. They are just as great for weekend errands or trips to the playground. I've worn them on a few hikes as well. And I've work them out with a tank and fun sandals. The pockets are deep enough to carry a phone or a dozen toy cars and they are easy to spot treat or machine wash. Great pants, I would totally buy them in other colors if available.

These are amazingly comfortable and so cute. I want them in all the colors!

Not to be dramatic but I think Black Diamond is the only company that actually references a "normal" female body when designing clothes. I have tried countless pants for climbing and these take the cake by a long shot. They are roomy, thick, mid-/high-rise, and length. I'm 5'5" with a 28" waist, 39" hips, and 29" inseam. I purchased a small and they fit loose through the hips/thighs with a bit of room in the waist. I immediately purchased a second pair and hope BD keeps making these in additional colors!

My most favorite pants to hike in. Lounge around in. Practice yoga in. The material is great— soft, stretchy, feels durable. Fits like a glove. I’m about 5’3”, and probably weigh 118 lbs, size small. Highly recommend

I fell in love with a pair of these pants in the Tundra (mid olive drab, seems to be discontinued) color earlier in the year. I wear an XL (45" hip, 38" waist). They fit fantastically, were a nice mid-rise level, and when I had the leg rolled down, it hit just at my ankle (~29" inseam). The waist was a little on the loose side, and would slip down if I didn't use the tie and had stuff in my pockets, but I usually could tie the waist tie once and still slide them on and off. They were a little swishy when I walked, but softened up with wear and washes. I wear them a lot for work because they're great for the physical aspects of my job but look nice enough that I feel presentable and professional, too. Since I loved those, I bought a pair in XL black a few months later, assuming they'd be the same pant, just a new color. These ones sit much higher on my waist, almost to my ribs. The waist band is a lot tighter and tends to make them ride up to the narrowest point of my waist and rub, instead of sagging like the Tundra pair. They're also a little longer in the leg, which is probably a blessing for the tall, but that's not me. The black pair is much less comfortable for me and I feel like I'm constantly tugging them down and picking wedgies, since they always migrate up my body as I move. I'm not sure if the cut changes between colors or if Black Diamond changed the cut recently, but if you loved older Dirtbag pants, newer ones might be different.

I have been eyeing these for a while. Researched and looked at the size guide and ordered a medium. Well, turns out they’re too big and baggy. And smalls are out of stock. And I already washed them. Soooo, I’ll wear them until smalls come back and then try and sell the mediums or give them away. Hence, maybe order two sizes and return the one the doesn’t fit. I wasn’t even in between sizes. I have a 31” waist and a small would fit better. Unless you like them baggy.

I got both a women's medium and men's small because I like the color options of the men's pants a lot better. The women's pants are less fitted in the legs, but I had no issues climbing in the men's pants. As it turns out, I actually like the fit of the men's pants better, though I'll keep both. Both have a very durable feel. For sizing reference I am 5'8" ~145-150lbs with a ~29" waist and ~40-41" hips. I did try on a men's medium and they were far too loose.

Loose, but makes your butt look *cute*? Yes absolutely. Steamy hot color way? 1000% rock solid. Pockets that you can use and the elastic doesn’t slip down? Well yes, OF COURSE. These pants not only can take on being professional but they will immediately place you top of the professional pack because all of your colleagues will know you do cool stuff too. River tested, dirt rubbed, rock slid, camp approved, and still as socially acceptable as on day one.
