I bought these a few weeks ago and I love them. I am also a shorty (5'1"), with muscular thighs from all that hiking and biking. It is so rare to find a pair of pants that are the right length (ankle on me) and have room for my thighs while still fitting (with drawstring) in the waist. My only wish for improvement is actually a wish for all drawstring waists.... About half the times I have to go to the bathroom I inadvertently make a knot when I'm trying to untie the waist. End up with a mini-struggle at an inopportune time! That said, am still buying another pair today before they get changed or discontinued (please don't).
I wanted these pants to be more fitted in the thigh (compared to the Dynama shorts), due to the tapering of the leg. I wear a medium in the shorts, but sized down after trying on size M and S in the pants. The M felt like too much extra material in the thighs. Wash and dry well, very comfortable, can be a little warm in hot weather but tolerable. I ordered a second pair to take on vacation. They pack up small and I’ve gotten multiple wears out of them before washing. Works for me!
Ordered a size smaller than shorts (size M to a S…for reference I’m 5’6”, 130 lbs.) for a less baggy fit, due to the slightly tapered leg. Washed and dried really well. Very comfortable in average and cool weather. A little warm in 80°+ weather, but tolerable. In warmer weather they stuck to my legs , which was a bit annoying, albeit temporarily. Bought a second pair. Looking to see how they hold up after multiple wears without washing while traveling. Fingers crossed!
At not quite 4'11" I'm a fan of the crop because no hemming is required! The fabric is soft and stretchy, but the pants have held their shape. Unfortunately, after only a couple of months of wear, there's pilling in the inner thigh area (hence the 4-star rating). Otherwise, these are awesome - I just bought a second pair :)
I have several Dynama bottoms -- shorts and pants -- and I really like them. They are comfortable and well-made, with nice touches. The crop pants are great, like the others. There are hand pockets and a zipped pocket on the side. Because they are lightweight and dry fast, they are good to pack for travel.
I love the Dynama line of pants and shorts. The fabric is light but sturdy and stretchy, waistbands are flexible. This particular pair (crop) is excellent, like the others. It has pockets including a side zip pocket. Great for travel, because they are so comfortable and lightweight. Very satisfied!
Since last year...when I discovered how great this pants are I've ordered several in several different styles. Ive washed & worn these everyday.. I walk dogs, garden, hike and frankly I'm sick of leggings
These XS pants fit me so well in the waist and hips - 5’3”, 100 lbs. I have the Dynama Crop pants and shorts. I didn’t like the flare at the bottom of this style so I returned them.
As always, great quality from MH. I’m short at 5,1 so these are ankle pants for me. I love the material, there is stretch but not too much, just right.
Perfect for petites! I’m 5ft tall with a small waist, I love the length and the draw cord at the waist is perfect. Great for climbing!
