I confess. I bought 3 pairs in different colors because 1. ) I love the colors, 2. ) I love the fit, 3. ) I wanted to mix up the colors even more by swapping one leg from each pair for that full Cotopaxi mix effect! They fit my curvy figure and are just plain fun to wear. Great clothes to play in and play with!
I really struggled finding zip off pants that work for my athletic thighs. Usually the zipper cuts into my thigh and they are uncomfortable to hike in… not these!! The zipper is comfortable, the shorts are cute, and the fabric is lightweight yet durable. These pants feel super well thought out with a little gear loop stitched into the waist band. The elastic at the waist is surprisingly strong, but if you are someone who stuffs their pockets, you might find them falling down a bit. The green/blue colorway does look slightly different in person, with a less dramatic difference between colors, but I like it even more than I thought I would! For girlies with athletic bodies, these are truly some of the best hiking pants I own.
Great fabric, color, style, and brand. Just missed a huge detail for me - no belt or strings for the waist causing a bad fit and returning the item. Plenty of pockets and adjustable ankle for a custom fit. I would still recommend, just didn't work for me.
The Losdos zip-off pants are even cuter in person than they are online. The pants are well made with sturdy stitching, pockets, and zippers. They are a nice material with a good balance of stretch and structure to be very flattering when on. They easily zip off to become shorts. The shorts are a nice length (even on my 5’10 build) and it’s very easy to convert them back pants as each leg has a color-coded zipper! Overall I’m am loving these pants and have received so many compliments!
A super fun color blocking pant that is versatile! I originally got the green but then switched to the blue just because I sit on the ground and just less noticeable dirt marks. They feel a little “parachute” like but going on the mountains it’s so nice to have a pant that EASILY zips down to shorts with the different weather changes in altitude. I would say they are true to size. For reference I’m 5’7 160lbs smaller waist with hips and some thigh (athletic) and medium was ok! 👌
I am a shocked at how comfortable and flattering these pants are. I find a lot of times that the fit of this type of pant just isn’t a good look. As someone who has an hour glass figure and fuller thighs they aren’t tight, they don’t bulge in the tummy nor are they tight in the thighs. These fall just right in the right places. The cinch at the bottom is perfect for me as I am only 5’2” so they don’t drag when hiking. I can’t believe it took me so long to own a pair.
The pants are EXTREMELY comfortable!! They are so cute and they look as good as shorts. They are perfect length for people how like shorter shorts. Love them I want them in every color!! I got a size small and usually get size medium for bottoms bc i like them bigger but this one fits PERFECTLY. I am 5’4 117lb . and this oats fit perfectly on me not too tight and not loose at all!!
I’m returning these pants, I really wanted to like them. The waist fits as it should but the thighs are weirdly small so where the zipper is rides up. They’re also a bit short (I’m 5’7). Also the periwinkle is a nice color but the other two are surprisingly dull. Overall I like the features like the zippers are high quality, the pockets are nice, but the fit needs to be different.
The Losdos Zip-Off Pant is an excellent addition to my wardrobe. I purchased these for travel / fly fishing and they are exactly what I’d hoped for. Legs zip off easily for a nice short pair of shorts and they are quick drying. I’m 55, 5’3” and 140 lbs. Both medium and large fit well, large having a little more room for outdoor activities. The length is perfect. Highly recommend!
Love the colors and design of these pants. I love everything Cotopaxi, so I’m a bit bias. My only qualm is that they fit SLIGHTLY tight around the middle because they are high waisted, like maybe they were designed for people in their 20s, not so much 30s and 40s. But, it gives me incentive to lose a little weight, so I still love them!
