I wore the Pursuit pants while hiking the Black Forest in Germany and they performed superbly. Loved the zippered pockets and the adjustable hem cinch cord. I purchased my normal size 10 (athletic build 5’3/129 lb. )
I’m 5’9” and sadly these were at least 3” too short on me. I love the fabric and design, and they could be the perfect hiking pants if they were long enough. Please consider offering in a long inseam!
