Trash your old sweatpants and wear the stretchy cotton The North Face Women's Akira Pants to feel comfortable when you head to the gym or enjoy a good book. The North Face made these Akira Pants with a soft-to-the-touch garment wash and a comfy, wide waistband so you can go from working out to hanging out without a wardrobe change. These pants are good pullovers post- and pre-workout this winter.
Bottom Line: The North Face Akira Pant—more comfortable than scrubs, and a hell of a lot better looking.
wear these to yoga, then throw them on with a black cashmere sweater and you can wear them on a date. perfect stretch and weight. perfect boot cut flare.
... and I am no different. These are great pants for lounging around the house, or going for a run. They have a good thickness to them, so they aren't going to tear if you snag them on a branch while hiking. Super comfortable, definitely follow the sizing chart, I usually wear a small size pant, but based on the chart got a medium due to waist size and they fit great. Everyone needs a pair of these.
The inseam varies based on size, but is between 30" and 31.5". I don't know for sure on the waistband, but it looks to be a wide, comfortable elastic waistband with no drawstring. The inseam is 32", check out the detail view photo to see the wide super comfortable waist band
no, they aren't sweatshirt like. Hard to describe. Thick, structured and more like a really thick T shirt material. They stretch but hold their shape. Hope this helps.
I bought these pants for working out. They turned out to fit perfectly. I'm 5'-4" and have a hard time finding pants that don't have to be taken up. The inseam is not too long. I typically wear 30" inseam pants. These pants are probably 31 inches. Just perfect! Also, the fabric/material on these are thick, but soft. I would buy more just to stock!
I bought these for my wife. She has really loved them! The fit, the sizing, the movement.... pretty much everything. They haven't pilled much at all after having done a ton of exercising in them. The only complaint is that these pants have faded quite badly! Other than that they're great!!!
I have a pair of akira pants (love them) and would like to get the same fit/stretchy feel with a pair of pants made to keep me warm outside. Suggestions?
Check out the Ibex Izzi Pant in Women's. They are merino wool so super warm, similar cut to the akira pants and can be worn outside. Just a heads up, they aren't the cheapest pants around (over $100 retail), but merino wool is never cheap. :) Backcountry sells them under the casual pant option.
I love these pants but I am 5'5" and these pants are like 3 inches too long for me. I have never had to mend workout pants. I wish I would have bought one size smaller.
Awesome pants! Have purchased two pairs in both colors. If there were more colors I'd buy those too. The pants are super comfy and warm. I've worn them to run around town and for all my activity at the gym - running, kickboxing classes, lifting-whatever. They do shrink a bit but I'm not all that careful when washing. In response to the length on a previous comment, I'm only 5'1" and they aren't too long, I just roll them up one time. Perfect! Order, you won't be disappointed!
Surprisingly I am not happy with these pants. I loved them when I got them, but then when I washed them they shrank and faded. On the first wash! They are sending me a new pair and I really hope these work for me.
