Mountain Hardwear Synchro Pant - Women's

I agree that these pants are definitely made for thin to athletic-shaped bodies, but I've found that with most of Mountain Hardwear's clothing. They do keep you dry, even sitting in the snow at length. I wore these on a snowshoeing trek recently in deep snow and they were great. Breathed well and I stayed toasty without getting too warm. Great movement, too, as I did a lot more "climbing" than trekking. I agree could be a little longer, I prefer lengths to the bottom of my shoe/boot, but they're not flood-length either for my height of 5'4" with the XS size.

Mountain Hardwear pants fit great if you're on the thinner/more athletic side. I'm 5'4" and the length is ok in the XS, but I'd prefer a bit longer, just a preference. Performed great, kept me dry while sitting in the snow and snowshoeing through waist-deep snow. Was plenty warm without being too warm in 20-something degree weather and silk-weight long underwear on. Nice ease of movement, too. Overall really perform well and as advertised.

I wore these for my Orizaba climb and I love them. They move with you, are not too high in the waist and have front zip so you can use your Freshette or Lady J with out having to pull your pants down to pee!!! Very warm. I wear a 4 in women's clothes and the small in these were big enough to wear heavy weight thermals underneath and still small enough to wear alone! Great pant and worth the money!!!!

The pants fit great (finally a decent pant to fit an athletic body and it moves with me). They are fabulously waterproof and breathable- the price is reasonable, too. The only beef I have is I don't like the cuffs or the little bungee to tighten them around my ski-boots. The first day I wore them, the plastic stopper came off on one of the pant legs. An internal gaiter would be better. I was impressed, though, with the bomb-proof material at the cuff which was not sliced up by my teleskis with repeated turns on the lift served days. I have not tried them touring, yet, because we have been having so much powder in the ski areas (bummer-ha).

I KEPT THESE BECAUSE I WANTED THE FULL OUTFIT AND LOVED THE JACKET. THE WAIST IS LARGE (AT LEAST THERE ARE BELT LOOPS) AND I AM TRADITIONALLY A CUT AND DRIED MEDIUM. I WEAR THESE OVER GYM CLOTHES OR JUST A BASE LAYER FOR GOING OUT. I WAS ALSO A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED IN THE WARMTH. I HAVE THE SOFTSHELL S.T.P. NORTH FACE PANT WHICH I FEEL IS MORE A TRUE MEDIUM, MORE FLATTERING, NO BELT LOOPS AND WARMER. GO WITH THE NORTH FACE FOR A BETTER VALUE AND FIT.

I very much liked this pant and I was so excited to try them out. However, my middle of the road size didn't allow for it. I ordered a small, but it was too big. Then I ordered an extra small and it was a little too tight. I tearfully had to return both. I really wanted them too!!

I think I tried on every soft shell pant this season. These were by far the best fit. Mountain hardware has the greatest designer in the world. They actually fit athletic bodies, not like pants that are made for big long butts.

I bought these to wear ice climbing because I didn't like the fit of my other pants. These fit better, except in the waist. I have big legs, so the size that fit my legs did not fit my waist. This pant would be perfect if it had some sort of cinch mechanism to make the waist fit better. My bf had the same problem with his pants. Otherwise, these pants were great. I was able to move with ease because of the elasticity of the fabric. They have zipper vents which come in handy when hiking. They really do keep the moisture out. They also have reinforced material on the inside ankle which are nice if you accidentally catch it with your crampons. I've been very impressed with this pant and really like it except for the waist being too big. The pants do have belt loops, so a belt will help with that problem.
