I was really excited to try these pants because some reviews mentioned it’s good for curvy women. It’s a two way stretch minimal pant that looks great but on a curvy body, it squeezes in areas that’s unflattering and loose in others. I sized up according to the reviews. The waist was too large, the crotch area was baggy. The thighs were too tight and the butt area was compressed and flattened. I’m 5’2”- 5’3” the length had got longer which is fine. I think if this was a 4 way stretch I would like it more.
Fabric and length are nice (5'6", 130 lb) but the waist is TINY and can't be adjusted. The hips and thighs are HUGE. These are for women with serious hourglass figures.
Great light-weight pants but run small
Pants fit well and are comfortable to wear all day. It dries fast so you don't feel wet and cold all day. It's also light and easy to pack small.
