We live in the Cascade Mountains and wear our fuegos year round! I bought my first pair in a women’s size large, they were enormous and had to send them back for a medium (still big). I loved them so much I bought my husband a pair! He loves them too. They are great for sitting around the campfire on cool evenings. We wear them to bed on occasion when the nights drop into single digits. They are wonderful to wear sitting in front of the wood stove sipping coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening! I would recommend downsizing because they do run large.
I'd give it 10 stars if I could!!! The model sizing was spot on! My girlfriend gets cold, very cold. Once she is cold it is hard to warm back up. This creates an issue when you want to be outside adventuring. These pants are the best! Should've got them a long time ago.. She absolutely LOVES them. First adventure, whales on the beach at Shi Shi. Second adventure, bears on Vancouver Island. Third adventure, goats in Alpine Lakes. Not to say these pants will bring this, but they might! Please take care of the land we love when you are out there, don't bring your Bluetooth speaker please.
I just received my down pants and couldn't be more thrilled! Wore them day one for a late fall cabin camp out in the Alaskan mountains and they did NOT disappoint!
So I order one size up to use with my base layers. I was so exited to get my first item from you , when I got I open and try it right away, to my surprise the L size is more like XXL, there is now way that L it’s so big, I have bought from many brands and never this has happen, I had to returned the item. Another surprise, if I return in the mail I will be charge 6 and if I take to the store I will get a store credit ! As if I did not pay for it with $$ , needles to say I will not order from this brand in the future. I tried it did not worked.
I love these pants so much! They are so fun and super duper lightweight. The colors are amazing and the 70’s retro vibe makes me smile! The only issue is that these are HUGE! I normally wear a large, but accidentally ordered a small and it fits perfectly. Definitely size down if you don’t what to wear many, many layers underneath. It’s snowing today and I’m looking forward to frolicking in the snow in my fuego pants!
These pants unfortunately did not work for me. They were huge I think even if I went down a size or got an extra small they still might be too big. I ordered a medium to layer some silk underwear underneath however they would have gone over heavy jeans and still had room. I suggest when ordering to go down one or two sizes. They are a nice color and a fairly light weight just didn’t work for me
I wore these out and about the other day with the matching long jacket and I received non-stop compliments. No one had seen the pants before. Meanwhile, I was toasty warm from top to bottom. I just wore them as a base layer skiing and stayed incredibly comfortable all day. I love these pants! They run a little big, but the roominess is nice, especially for being active.
The pants are so cozy, comfy, and the pattern looks great with the colors. The only complaint is that the waist is tall and way too big. I generally fit well for medium in everything but I don’t think a smaller size would work. I just have to wear them with the waist rolled down. If not for that, would be five stars.
They are easy to get into and the color pattern is perfect. I got the size large because I was hoping they would fit over jeans. I think if I wanted a snug fit I should have gotten a size medium but I like a bigger fit. They look great and I would love them in more colors!!
I needed warmth and I got it. These are very lightweight and super warm. They pack very easily and squish down to nothing. I ordered a bit big because the material does not stretch. These are not sexy! If you are looking for a sleek look, go with wool.
