It is offensive to me that a company can charge so much for a pair of mediocre pants. Thankfully, I got these on sale, but my thoughts on them being overpriced stand at the sale price. They are comfortable and light. The belt was a nice touch -- in theory. When I first got them, I considered ordering additional pairs. Then I wore them on a meadow in the Cherokee National Forest to band birds. On day one, they got knicks. On day two, one side of the tool loop ripped off. The paths to our mist nets are mowed. I had little contact with brush, but the pants still came home damaged. The belt rubbed my stomach every time I sat down, and the material is bothersome. I would buy these again if they were about $30, but not for their actual price.
I bought these pants for a three-night backpacking trip in the Rockies. They fit great, are lightweight and cool in summer weather, and are mosquito bite proof. I am 5'4'' 130 lbs and ordered a size Small. The waist is somewhat big, but the adjustable belt makes it fit comfortably. I'll continue wearing them for hiking and outdoor field work--and probably to the office too! They seem well-made and like they will last awhile.
a great all around pant! love for indoor and outdoor climbing, hiking, and even around the city since the style is so elevated. wore this weekend hanging out in the park with friends and got all the compliments. stretchy enough to be comfortable with big step moves climbing or diving around playing spikeball. lightweight but not so thin I feel cold.
Very short. These pants would have been great, but we need choices on inseam. I’m 5’ 11 and these were about 5 or 6 inches too short. They don’t look cute cropped so short. Please make longer inseams a choice for us taller folks!
Hi there, thank you so much for your review. We’re sorry to hear that the Bastille Trail Pant did not fit as expected. Rest assured your feedback and request for longer inseams have been passed along to our team so we can do better in the future!
These are the best hiking pants I own. They're the perfect length. Great quality too - they've survived harsh conditions, even falling a few times on a slope of pumice. Love how stretchy they are and the pockets are plentiful.
Lightweight, but they feel well made. I’ve only work them casually. Not to hike, and I haven’t washed them yet, but I’m really hoping they hold up. If they do I’ll keep my fingers crossed that they release them in black.
Love these pants! Love their fit and how comfortable they are. I also appreciate how the back looks, I feel like a lot of other brands don’t put much effort/design into that part. I am 5’5” ~120lb and got a size XS.
I love how lightweight these pants are!! They are also so flattering and comfy. They run slightly big, I am a size 4/6 and a small fit perfect. If you are in between sizes I would size down!!
A little pricy for what they are, but the cut is flattering, and it’s also hard to find bottoms that are breathable and lightweight, but don’t show all imperfections, and these don’t.
Extremely durable/lightweight material for hiking/trail running. The removable belt was also SUCH a good touch, to ensure perfect fit around the waist.
