[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these capris. They are beautiful fit, and a great color.
These pants are wonderful. They are soft with a nice amount of stretch, not “crispy” like some other brands of water-resistant pants. I did need to size up because they run a bit small. Very flattering fit, though. I love that they have belt loops because I like to dress up my pants sometimes with a cute belt. I could almost get away with wearing my black pair to work in my dressy office except for one obnoxious detail: on the back of the pants near the hem is written “Omni-shield” in big white letters. Dear Columbia, NOBODY cares so much about the fabric that they want it emblazoned on their pants. I’m going to see if I can cover it with a black sharpie. Otherwise these are really excellent versatile pants. Love that I can roll them up and snap them in place for wading in the water. Or pair them with a nice shirt and dressy shoes to go out for the evening.
I usually wear a size 10 and these fit perfectly everywhere except the waist. Just a little tighter than I like. This material is not stretchy so just a word of caution. The 12’s fit great in the waist put the pant legs are now big on me. Great material though and they are flattering on.
These are pretty comfortable but I have two complaints: 1. I was hoping the fabric would be like the Columbia capris I bought several years ago, but it’s not as smooth. (Though the navy Leslie Falls ones I bought most recently are actually closer.) 2. The waistband is just a little too tight. I wish the old wider drawstring waist would come back. Honestly, I preferred the older version except for the length. I love the length and adjustability of these newer ones.
Good sun protection. I also like the length. I am 5 feet 2 inches and they are above ankle not mid calf like in the photo and I like where they land. Happily, the material is not warm. I find they are true to size although I got a 6 instead of my regular size 4 and I am fine with the looser feel.This is my second pair; I took a blue pair to Italy recently and was pleased with how they performed.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m a full size woman who usually wears pants in a size 18. Except with Columbia pants to which I always go bigger. In shorts, capris, and pants I always buy a 18w. Alas, the 18w was over 2 inches too wide. When I tried to exchange them for the 16w, no available stock in colors that I wanted. Bummer Note- the “regular “ sizes all noted that they ran extremely small
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The material of the capris is perfect for Summer, nice and light weight and there are a lot of pockets good for all types of adventures. The legs are also "convertible" and snap on the inside. The only reason I did give 5 stars is because on me they aren't are closer to full length then capri length.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] these pants are very light, and I like that they can be cuffed up for a shorter style. I sized up as suggested. If I was fit, I could probably get in my normal size (8), but if I was eating a lot on vacation, I would need the 10. So I will probably need a belt with them sometimes.
