Mountain Hardwear  StretchDown Light Pants - Women's

Just got these in the mail and first impression is that they’re incredibly comfortable. Lightweight, flattering, and they fit more like a well-cut pair of everyday pants than typical outdoor gear, which I love. I ordered an 8 Tall, and while the fit is great overall, they’re a bit snug in the calves (my calves have always been on the larger side, so something to note). Picked these up for backpacking in the PNW, but I can already tell they’ll get plenty of use for other outdoor adventures to! So far I have gardened in them with bike shorts underneath and no complaints.

I am so pleased with these pants! They are exactly what I was looking for. They are lightweight but incredibly warm. I wore these for the first time hiking when the temps dropped to 9F with a wind chill of -13F and I was toasty warm and comfortable. They even stayed dry in light, blowing snow. I've also worn them for many early morning dog walks in frigid temps and they are great for that too. As for the fit, the length is perfect and the rise is comfortable. I'm 5'4", 113 lbs. and kind of straight through the waist/hips. The size S works with or without long johns underneath. For me there is no extra room in the waist and the hips are very roomy.

after a -22 degree day bike riding I came home with purple legs and a need for warmer leg wear. These pants are really great, I've worn them a dozen times since then, most often on my snow bike trips. the pant length is tapered and elastic at the ankles so no chance of getting caught in the bike gears. The weight is perfect for activity. They'd be too hot for just casual wear for me, but ideal for cold weather activity. They fit well under my snow pants for an added layer if I need some extra wind/snow protection. I really recommend them for someone looking to add that extra layer to the cold days.

Great fit and keeps me warm even in single digits.

This is absolutely one of the BEST purchases I've made regarding technical gear! So light, stretchy, warm, and breathable. It was very hard to find stretchy but warm snow pants. I also love the HUGE, deep pockets. My big iPhone fits comfortably in the pockets and doesn't bother my legs when I am hiking, snowshoeing, skiing, snowmachining, etc. These pants are a must-have winter gear to enjoy the winter outdoors in Alaska.

Amazing pants! I use them for walking the dog, heading to and from the gym, and outdoor activities. They fit really nicely—not too bulky, but still go over leggings and pants. And most importantly, they keep me warm!

Very well made. Bought them one size larger so I can just pull them over whatever I am wearing. Love the fabric which is not shiny. perfect for evenings around camp andcold mornings before I get going.

[Employee of mountainhardwear] A must for cold climate comfort these pants are so comfortable with the stretch, and so warm! Durable too, making the ideal pant to keep you happy in the cold!

This pants is just amazing and fantastic! I have been looking for this kind of pants so long. Finally, I found it. It is very light but very warm and comfortable. Very impressed!!

These pants are not only the most comfortable down pants I've ever had, they are also the most functional with three pockets. I get compliments on them every time I wear them!
