The pants fit nicely through the legs and have good stretch feels very comfy. The pants have a short inseam I measured about 28 inches. I will be returning as their were advertise as a 31.5 inseam pants. I am 510 and they said about 3 inches above my ankles.
My new favorite everything pants! I have been living in this pants since I bought them. I use them for work, light outside work, and climbing. I have an athletic build with 28" waist and 38" hips - after reading other comments, I sized down to a S and it fits perfectly. The adjustable waist is so handy and the baggy fit through the legs is great. I am 5'8 and they hit right at my ankles. They are super durable and the green color is sick! The only downside I have found is that, after a ~3mi hike and some scrambling, the baggy fit led to some chafing on my inner thighs. I don't know that I would recommend these for long hikes.
I love most things about these joggers - the weight, the look, the fit. I use them mostly to climb at the gym. They are lighter weight so I didn't use them much during the winter if I was spending any extended time outside. For reference, I'm about 5'5 and 135lbs. I usually wear a Small, 4 or 6, depending on brand and style. Rating these as 3 stars because of the durability of the fabric. After only a few (less than a handful) of washings, the fabric is already starting to pill and look worn. I do wash on cold and hang dry all of my outdoor wear so it hasn' been exposed to hot water or the dryer. Sadly, I wish the fabric was more durable...I'm not sure I would buy again because I like my stuff to last and not age as fast.
My favorite warm weather climbing pants! They have good stretch with lots of room to move, and they breathe well. The side phone pocket is everything. The fabric does pill over time, however unlike other climbing pants I have never got any holes to date after wearing them outside a lot. I am 5'8 and usually wear a medium, but the small fits me well so size down if you are between sizes. They hit a couple of inches above the ankle. I have them in 3 colors and hope Mountain Hardware will make them in more fun colors!
Just tried these on, they’re extremely light with a lot of stretch potential. For a high rise fit, the waist band is way larger than expected. I don’t have big enough buns to hold these up and there’s no drawstring to adjust (bummer), so in order to make it fit appropriately, I have to pull the waistband all the way down to my mid-hip. I think downsizing will do me a better. I’m going to give these another chance. I’m 5’4 and 120 lbs. The pant length is good. Everything else is just too wide.
I purchased my Khaki pair in a store after trying them on and they were very comfortable. I’m an apple shape and prefer a flat waistband. The dark pine color (pretty) I ordered from the website was 3/4 inch smaller in the waistband and uncomfortable so I returned them. The khaki color is a bit grey compared to some khaki clothing that is a bit green. They looked good after the first wash on gentle and hung to dry.
I have a short torso and long legs, so these are too long in the rise and too short in the inseam but that is typical for me to experience, so I'm still giving them 5 starts. I am 5'5", 123 lbs, 25" waist, 36" hips, 32" inseam but sized up to a Small so the inseam would be longer. I like the flat waistband (would improve to have a drawstring), plenty of pockets, stretchy and breathable fabric.
Purchased a medium found it to be true to size, flattering, and long enough for my 5’10” 160lb frame. Earlier iteration of this pant was in a lighter fabric that I preferred as it can be worn in all weather and packs smaller. That said, this pant is still light enough for travel and has the same stain resistant, fast drying qualities. Would buy again
pants seem like they would be amazing, unfortunately cannot try them out or return bc there is no drawstring to keep the waist up. Mountain hardwear needs to make more XXS sizes so they don't constantly sell out in every single color, or at the very least add a drawstring to their pants!!!! how can you expect everyone to have the same waist? crazy.
I have several pairs of the joggers. I love almost everything about them. At 5’3” and 112 lbs., I need extra small for the pants to stay up, but the are at least 1.5” too short, so the legs constantly ride up my shins. These joggers would be perfect if you would offer them in a loner inseam!
