I wasn't sure what to expect out of this pant - as I got it initially for just traveling (it doesn't wrinkle). Soon, though, I found myself going biking, hiking, and even running in it. I love that it keeps its shape, HAS POCKETS, and features a cute drawstring. Bonus: I love that I can wear these pants all day long and do multiple activities.
These pants are amazing. You can dress them up or wear them down. The material is very comfortable and breathable. I initially bought a size 0 in tan and loved the fit then I bought a size 2 in the blue (since the 0 was sold out) and also loved the fit. The size 0 is more fitted while the size 2 has a little more room but still fitted and flattering. If you want a more relaxed fit, I would recommend sizing up. I wear these pants to work and out on the trail. They’re very much a do it all pant!
These pants are super lightweight, the stretch is great, and I do use the side cell pocket more than I thought I would, though I have a smaller iPhone without a case. While the Stio pinecone logo is cute, I wanted the pants to have the option to class up a bit more, so I was able to carefully unpick and remove that label. At 5’6 124lbs the pants fit a pinch looser than on the model, but I like this size for comfort and to get them over my hips--would say they are fairly true to size.
I love these pants! Another awesome stio product. I got the pinedale pants a few months ago and loved them so much that I thought I would try another style! The Viale are so comfortable and super cute! So far I have worn them hiking, lounging and on road trips. They fit true to size. I got a 0, same size as my pinedales. They are nice and lightweight and will be great for spring and summer! Definitely will be a outdoor capsule staple.
I’m 5’6, roughly 140 with an athletic build. My hips are 39” with like…. A 28” waist maybe? I’m shaped like a box. I generally wear a size 4 and these fit pretty on par. They were comfortable during a heat wave while I was camping, I avoided being super sweaty and smell while still wearing pants AND was able to get another day out of them without being too offensive. Legit.
The Vallis Pants the my new favorite pants! They are so light and comfortable and super stretchy. I feel like I can wear them anywhere from mountain biking, rock climbing, camping or on the daily. These pants check all the boxes for spring and summer adventures!
These were the pants I've been looking for. Super comfy, fairly wide elastic waist, all direction stretch, can wear for days in a row, and the structure and material look "formal" enough to wear out - but you can pop a ninja move and jump a fence when needed.
Finally a higher more comfortable rise. Thank you Stio for understanding what active women want in clothing. These are perfect, lightweight, ankle length and higher rise. I sized up to avoid seeing the pocket outline on my thighs and glad I did.
I really wanted to love these. My waist is a bit big for my overall size so I’m always looking for an elastic waistband with drawstring. These fit great through waist and hips, but the pockets gaped open in an unflattering way. Had to return.
I love the fit and feel of these pants. I used them for lightly for travel. I was very disappointed to find the fabric pilling after wearing. At the high price point I would expect a material to hold up. I am hopeful for an improvement.
