Disappointing

I agree with previous reviewers who cited the crotch seam as a fatal flaw. The rise just didn't fall right (narrow hips). They were also too short, which is not usually an issue for me with Icebreaker pants. The size S (my usual size) had a 30.5" inseam and the M had a 31.5" inseam. The S waist was a little tight. I also expected them to have the same boucle fabric as the Lily Hood, but this merino has a smooth face (99% Merino, 1% Elastane). I would try them again if they were redesigned (and lengthened).

I loved the fabric and the overall fit. BUT. These pants fell prey to the all-too-common pit fall of womens stretchy pants: the crotch seam.
Instead of a small, discrete gusset to keep the pant legs separate at the crotch, there was the fatal single seam running from the front waistband to the back.
This makes for two strange, unseelmly folds of fabric right at the crotch. Not flattering.
I am a small, very in-shape woman, and so assumed that these pants would look great on me.
Stretchy pants need to have a gusseted crotch.
Not really for fuller thighs!

I am quite pair-shaped and carry my weight on my thighs, so find it really hard to find pants that fit and flatter at the same time. Due to this, I rarely buy pants online, but bought these based on the glowing reviews regarding just how flattering these pants are. Needless to say, I was heart-broken when I put them on and discovered just how UNFLATTERING they were! Due to their snugness and the lack of front pockets, they are EXTREMELY unforgiving. The material is quite thin and slinky and the fit is similar to gym leggings (but flaired below the knees) so they don't hide a thing, and while I'm sure they're flattering to the right kind of body shape, they definitely weren't for my thighs!
I'm a US 12 in pants, so I'm not overly large, but big enough that I don't want pants that glaringly highlight my short-comings! I exchanged these for a pair of the Icebreaker Rio pants and was MUCH happier with the looser fit, so I recommend those pants over these ones to women who are a bit more concerned about their upper leg area!
Love it

Absolutely love these pants. If they weren't so expensive, I'd get another pair. I originally bought these for a visit to cold England in the winter, but I wear them all the time in the US for hiking and even heading off to the hospital to work. They are form fitting, but cute.
FOR THE TALLER GALS....Great, but waist needs redesign + longer inseam option.

THIS REVIEW HAS ALOT OF INFO FOR ALL TALLER GALS. I couldn't get it, so decided to give it. ;-)
I'm 5'9" and 145-148lbs. I ordered a size medium in the Lily.
These fit well in hips, thighs. Inseam length was 33", and borderline acceptable for my long legs...I'd have to wear just the right shoe...this would be limiting.
The waist was 28.75" (measured inside waist diameter). Compared to the icebreaker size chart for this pant...the waist is at least 1/2" smaller.
The waist really is rather small in proportion to the overall cut of the size M pant.
The waist is a wide, tight elastic band...no potential for give/stretch (within the next 2 years for sure). If I weren't a taller build, and the waist did not hit me like a lower rise, these might be perfect. I can usually pull the pants lower on hips to get by, lengthening inseam if slightly short...not happening with this pant style, due to type of waist.
They fit was not as comfortable as it should be for the $$$, plus really do need longer inseam.
Backcountry's picture makes these look like they're cut rather straight from hip to waist. This is not the case. Holding them up and viewing, I think "hour glass" due to the wide elastic, unforgiving, waist design. If I were always going to wear them with larger, longer, non-slim fitting tops, could pull waist lower on hips, then the waist would be no issue. I have mostly slim fit tops planned for wear with these pants.
I decided to order these in size large...31" waist and 34.25" inseam. The size large waist falls on my hips, settles in the right spot, and feels good. I just wish the hips/butt, and thighs, on the size large, fit like the size medium.
The size large 34.25" inseam does allow more length for taller girls.
These are VERY SOFT, VERY WARM, and COMFORTABLE...you'd never know they were wool. Fabric is wonderful. I recommend Icebreaker. I love how it resists odor, maintains shape, regulates body temp. It really performs well.
I had no issue with the crotch, as mentioned in another review. Although, I have a gap between my thighs.
BOTTOM LINE: Icebreaker needs to address the elastic waist design on this Lily pant. Elastic is way too tight and unforgiving. Additionally, It would be nice if Icebreaker offered their Pant line in longer length option.
I hope this long winded review helps someone.
Thanks BackCountry...your customer service is excellent, you give great advice, and delivery is always expedited. You're the best!

These draped beautifully but the crotch isn't gusseted and they didn't look right in the front. I love icebreaker and feel even at their higher prices they are a great value but I sent these pants back.
Anyone out there 5'9" and tried these...

Anyone out there 5'9" and tried these icebreaker pants. I know the size chart iguides aren't always exact for inseam. Hoping these run longer. All input is welcome. Thanks

These are perfect pants for fall and hopefully winter. A flattering fit. Back pocket helpful for phone or other necessities. Comfortable to wear all day. The smalls are too long for me as I am 5'4", but I rolled them up and they're fine. Perhaps they'll shrink. I agree with the previous reviewer, in that they are a refined knit. There is a rather wide waist band but somehow it works! I feel like a million bucks, hopefully I look it and they will makes me run farther and faster!
Love 'em.

Wow, what an amazing pair of pants. Not only are they toasty warm (especially considering how thin they are), but the knit is so refined that I can wear these pants to work at the office as well as on a run. Amazing. I wish I could afford to buy 3 or 4 more pairs (and that they came in other colors) so that I wouldn't have to wear anything else. The waistband is super comfortable and stays exactly where you put it. I'm 5'6" and 128 pounds and the small felt like they were made just for me.
