Rated 4 out of 5 by LizT1982 Nice fabric but strange fit
I really liked the fabric these were made out of - breathable and dried really quickly. The problem with these was the fit. As other reviewers have mentioned, the waist is very high - came up about two inches past my belly button! I tried pulling them down but then the crotch was halfway to my knees and they looked even weirder. I ended up wearing them rolled over at the waist, which was fine because the waist has some elastic in it. I'm not particularly short - 5'5", and have not had this problem with the waist before.

Rated 2 out of 5 by GidgetKD Really high waist
I was really disappointed in these pants. Lots of great things about them - good material, good pockets, decent fit... Other than the fact that the waist came up past my ribs! Yeah, I'm short (5'1"), but these are serious "mom pants." To be more in style, they need to drop that waist by a good couple of inches, if not three. I really don't even think that having a petite size would have helped with this.
Unfortunately, having that waist so high is really uncomfortable, so they are getting returned.

These pants have made it through three rough backpacking trips in Grand Canyon without a rip, lost seam or hole. I have never had a pair of pants last this long. They have been speared by cacti, scoured by sandstone, and dragged across limestone without a dent. My one complaint is I cannot zip off the legs without removing my hiking boots. Sometimes taking the time to remove my boots just isn't an option which means I don't get the cooling benefit of leg removal.

I wear these pants hiking and only need underpants when it is cold. They are lightweight, have many pockets, can be zipped into shorts and warm in winter. Love them!

Rated 5 out of 5 by WildlifeShopper Great fit, lots of useable pockets
These pants fit great and have easy removable legs and just as easy to put back on again. Lots of pocket space and nice deep pockets. Great pants.

WOW are these light weight. I bought one size larger than I normally would after reading some of the other reviews on these. So they are a little baggie on me and the elastic in the waist doesn't snug them up. They do have a nice little belt that comes with them and helps with this sizing issue.
I washed them and hung dried them and they came out pretty wrinkle free.

I purchased these using my normal size. They were so short they looked like capris. They were a bad fit all around. They are going back.

Rated 5 out of 5 by IdioteSavanteGoddess Durable, comfortable, and usable all year.
I have worn these pants on a daily basis since the spring of 2004. They have not shown any wear, except a slight fading of the colour (they used to come in Cadet Blue). I wear them for walking the dogs year 'round, often over a pair of sweats or pajama bottoms in the Chicago winter, as shorts in the summer. Also used them as part of my uniform as an emergency medical first responder at Starved Rock State Park in Illnois for several seasons. They never let me down.

I was disappointed that the pants did not fit. The sizing seemed small because I usually take a solid size 12 but the medium which is a 10 to 12 was too small.
Quality seemed good

These pants are better quality than the ones purchased previously. Also the fit was perfect. They might breathe well, but they kept me warm this morning riding my bike in 50 degree breezy weather.
