The Best Pants
I just hiked the camino de santiago and i brought two pairs of these. these are the only bottoms i wore for the entire 31 days i walked and only bottoms i wore for 6 weeks straight on my travels. they are extremely comfortable (i slept in them every night) and they are extremely durable. i hand washed my clothes and the material is quick drying. they are also lightweight and didn’t take up much room in my pack. they run true to size for me. i tried to patagonia joggers and they ripped before i left home. you can’t beat these bottoms whether you’re lounging, running errands or going on outdoor adventures!
Runs large
Planned to use these hiking as they are a bit stretchy and have wicking fabric. They run large in the hips and thighs. The waist to crotch was very long too. I usually wear a size 8-10 and a medium in pull on pants works fine, but this medium is probably a large..
Obsessed & Need More Color Options!
These pants are incredible. The fabric is quick drying, breathable, soft, and doesn't irritate my skin or my senses (sensory sensitive people know). The 4-way stretch is awesome, and I genuinely can't believe how thin and stretchy and magical these are. I find myself wearing these EVERYWHERE and often. Only complaint is that they don't come in other colors - need khaki, dark green, navy, maroon, and gray ASAP, please!!!! New favorite hike, travel, camping, and lounge pants by far.
Everything pants!
I just purchased these and took them on a night hike today. They are so comfortable and buttery smooth and stretchy that I want to live in them. I do agree with the other review that mentions the zipper pulls being tiny but with how amazingly comfy these pants are, it’s not to big of an issue for me. I could easily see myself using these as lounge wear but also comfy enough for travel to other countries and you can dress them up a little too I think.
Cute and lightweight, but very baggy
The material is wonderful. I wore these to run in twice now and the UPF works nicely. I had to give it a 4 because the fit is unlike anything I've ever worn before. The waist and crotch area is SO BIG. I had to order a size XS, which is atypical for me, and the pant legs do not stay tied so they tend to fall under my feet. I honestly could have gone with the petite on top of already sizing down, even though I'm not really that short. I would definitely recommend trying on first before buying and going 1-2 sizes below your usual.
Stoked on the fit
Thank you for the high rise and full length pant! I like that they’re not skinny but not so voluminous that it impedes their function. Lightweight and stretchy — intending to mostly wear these for bouldering, summer alpine climbing, and some scrambling. Hoping their lightweight material can hold up to a good amount of abrasion on rock! For for help-I’m usually a size 26 in jeans, and the xs fits perfectly!
Almost perfect
These pants are almost perfect. My only issue with them is that the zipper pulls are so smooth and tiny that it's impossible to zip the pockets up when you're wearing them rendering the pockets essentially useless. I'm going to try adding something to the pull to give it more "grabability" but may end up having to replace the zippers on a new pair of pants.
REI Hiking Pants
These pants fit perfectly and are very comfortable.
Great comfy outdoor pant, need more colors!
Super comfy & want more color options! Very flowy and light, comfortable waistband that doesn’t fall down (has drawstring which is necessary though). Only negative is the ankle elastic/cinch - it doesn’t stay cinched but I prefer it wide legged anyways. But not great if you want to cinch & pull above the ankles, need to knot it to keep in place.
Great for the Outdoors
I bought these for the summer months that I spend walking dogs through trails in the state forest and through open fields as a shelter volunteer. I am 5'11" with very thick thighs and I wanted to make sure these were loose and comfy so I sized up. The size up made the waist a bit large but the drawstring works pretty well to keep them in place and there is no pulling or bunching anywhere else. I have big calves and these are not restricting in any way and can be tightened if I need to. I do find myself pulling them up higher on my calves when I don't tighten them. They dry quickly, wick moisture very well, provide good sun protection and do not make me overheat. They are very durable and have stood up to being jumped on, nipped and drooled on by rowdy shelter dogs, working in a barn and falling on gravel with no rips or tears. I also have the Trailmade pull-on pants and prefer these much more.
