A little leg coverage is nice out in the brush or on a rock face, but tripping over pant legs isn't nice at all. The Mountain Hardwear Women's Arroyo Capris give you more coverage than shorts, but they won't get snagged on backcountry plants or bike chains. Strong Canyon Cloth makes the Arroyo tough enough for climbing, and the bevy of pockets and full-length inseam gusset give you the cargo space and freedom of movement necessary for romping in the wilderness. These pants' lower-rise waist gives the Arroyo a modern fit, though you'll be too far from civilization to care about being up-to-date.
Most useful item in my wardrobe! Fits great in all the right places, packs light & tight. Pockets are deep and very unobtrusive, the cut is streamlined and smart. Washes easily in the smallest of sinks and drip-dries in 1/2 hr. I was so afraid they'll become unavailable that I ordered one in every color and that includes the shorts. Keep in mid that they do run small so order one size up.
The arroyo capris are a great pant, if you can find one to fit and that isn't easy. First, Mountain Hardware tends to run small in pants. I sized up from a 4 to a 6 and got a black one that fit perfectly. I then ordered 3 other colors (dk khaki, beige, and petrol) Each of those fit completely differently in length and width, despite being the same size 6. Finally I got one in "brownie" and it fits like the black one. If you get one to fit you'll wear it all the time. Great for exercise class, hanging out and travel. It dries in 30 minutes and is abrasion resistent, which is great for rock climbing.

Agree with previous reviewer on sizing issue. Generally I'm a 6-8 and I ordered an 8 in both black and clove. Well, the clove fit fine but the black was too small. Might be b/c the pants were not made in the same country.. Anyway, the clove reminds me of a true rust color which I ended up not liking, so both of these are going back.. Too bad, fabric quality and overall design get an A.
Normally, I'm a size 4-6. I am a hard fit because I have a "bubble butt," so I ordered the 6. I LOVE the unique burnt brown (that's how I would describe "clove") color. It definitely has more of a red tone than my computer shows. The fabric is very lightweight so I wouldn't order these if you're looking for warmth. As far as the length, I am a little less than 31" inseam and they come 5 1/2" from the top of my ankle. I plan to wear them for hiking. Happy with my Arroyos!
I tend to agree with other reviewers. If you find some that fit you will LIVE in these. I have many pairs but still have to try on each one to see how they fit. The sizing just sems erratic, both within and between sizes. ASide from that though, I think I have 8 pairs now. LOVE THEM.
these did not do it for me. granted, they were too big (ordered an 8 based on reviews to size up, normally wear a 6), but even despite that they just did not look good. they felt great, are super light and whatnot but were just not for me. the clove is more of a rust color, darker than the picture which i also didn't like.
These capris are phenomenal. They can go from the jungle to urban hiking or out to dinner. They have a very flattering, hip hop cut. They are the fastest drying pants I have found. Great for travel. With 2 pairs of these you can go for days. Great with Prana tank tops or any tee shirt. Dress up or down. I normally wear a size 2 or 4. I have to wear a 6 in these capris.
They are lightweight enough for summer and tough enough for a little bouldering. They come in fun colors too, so you don't have to be so drab on the rock. Runs true to size.
