Outdoor Research Catalyst Pant - Women's - 2007 BCS

I'd have to agree with the reviews, these pants are very comfy! I picked up the grey toned pair(forget their official name)in a small. They're fitted. Only have to get the length altered a tiny bit. I'm 5ft. & 100lbs. with bigger hips. Was a bit worried they would be too small in the butt. Not so. Their snug, but fit really well. The lycra/elastic makes movement easy. Going to have to consider another pair soon.

I hate shopping for pants and can be difficult to fit, so these were a pleasant surprise. The waist band is extremely comfortable and doesn't rub or chafe, even with a pack. These were built for a woman with consideration for hips & butt. I normally wear a 6 in pants, and a medium is the perfect fit. The material is extremely lightweight and soft, wicks well, and doesn't snag on branches or rock. I also love the fact that you can roll up & secure the bottoms if you need to step into the stream on a hot day!

I purchased these pants for work in a size 4. Quite fitted & a little too tight (i'm 5ft. 100lbs) The 6 is a far better fit for me. Very comfy & I can move without any restrictions. Fabric is quite soft as well.

I am one of those people who wear hiking pants to work -- I admit it. These pants are wrinkle free, stain resistant, and totally comfy. They pass at the office as khaki type pants. I've taken them hiking as well and they vent well and are abrasion resistant. My one critique is that I wish they had back pockets.
