Really comfortable and fit perfect. I’m 5’3” and curvy, love the height of the waist
Bought these pants to walk the Camino in Spain. Love the fit, hate the fabric. After one day on the trail they were ruined. The fabric almost felts from the inside with the friction on your legs and destroys the fabric. I ended cutting one pair off because they were so bad and I have only worn the second pair once trying to preserve them for the plane ride home. We’re not worth the cost even at discount.
DO NOT BUY THESE. I wore them once to the office and when I got home i noticed there was a fist sized pilling spot on the back right under the waist band. When I called the company they told me they didn't care, didn't cover it and that i was out of luck. So now I have worn these once and I can never wear them out again.
Flattering, Functional & Worth It! I scored the Wonderland Rock Pants in Spruce on sale—still a splurge at $70, but totally worth it. These pants are incredibly flattering and slimming, with a stretchy waistband and a subtle peek-a-boo fabric detail that enhances the waistline. They’ve been my go-to during a brutal heat wave—cool, breathable, and perfect for hiking, kayaking, or just running errands. I also love the ankle snaps, which let you switch to a jogger-style fit—super handy for active days. I’d grab another pair in black or brown if they go on sale. Highly recommend!
Love the elastic high waist and double waistband feature to make these stand out from other jogger style pants! The medium fit is great for me in the waist, hips, and length (5'9", 166lbs, 30" waist, 42" hips). The material is comfy and durable, I've worn these around the house, in the woods (while trying to not get snagged by briars), and on errands. They seem to wear great for just about everything but I do worry about snagging on thorns. The snap at the bottom of the leg is a great touch so you can customize at the ankle. I find myself wearing these most days for WFH and around town!
Fit is relaxed and fabric is super soft. Perfect travel pant!
These are comfortable and for well. I’m 5,9” with long legs. Smidge in the short side for me - but not a deal breaker. Fabric seems nice, dubious as to how it will wear on the trail and in camp life. Haven’t tested that out. I like wash in a basin and quick dry clothes for our van camping adventures. I also like a pant that’s not out of place sightseeing and dining out. These definitely check those boxes.
These comfortable pants are a nice lightweight stretchy material that breathes. I like the high waist with elastic, they don’t fall down. The length is perfect for sandals or tennis shoes. The dark blue color is pretty. I bought these for hiking but they are much better suited to shopping, travel, and casual activities etc, they have 1 small zip pocket that will fit a card or keys, no secure pocket for a phone, earning a 4 star rating There are slash front pockets and patch rear pockets but a phone will fall out They run BIG, buy a full size smaller than other prana pants (or 2 sizes smaller if you’re very slim) I am over 65, 5’6”, 160 lbs., curvy shape, and the medium size is a pretty relaxed fit on me, I normally buy a large in prana I will probably buy another pair for general use because they are very comfortable , cool, and the material looks dressier than the koen pants.
I actually have these in two colors. I'm pear-shaped but these sit at my natural waist so they're very flattering and I usually wear them with a tight fitting tank or long sleeved shirt tucked in so you can see the cute ruffle detail. Cute with sandals, Vans or boots. They're thinner material so not for colder weather but SUPER comfy and very flattering even on someone who's not so smooth.
Overall, these pants are great. The pockets are large and they sit comfortably on my hips, and they are suitable for work and going to gym. They are slightly more baggy than anticipated and have some extra room in the crotch area. I think if the pant legs and crotch were slightly less baggy I’d give it five stars. I bought a size XS in the dark blue color and I’m 5’2” at 125#
