prAna Convertible Pant - Women's

Item #PRA0371 | 8 in Stock

size 8 versus size 10

By Ranked #95 - Women's Hiking Pants March 23, 2009

My roommate and I are pretty similar sizes but my hips are a little bigger. She bought a size 8 from REI and I loved the way they looked but the size 8 was way too small for me. So I ordered a size 10 from backcountry (the green ones in the photo). Whoa. These pants are huge! from the waist to the butt, to the opening at the bottom (notice that my feet are absolutely swallowed by the pants)- everything about them is BIG. I was in a tricky situation because I knew I didn't fit in an 8 but the 10 was gigantic. Luckily I tried on a pair of the same pants in a size 10 at an REI and, miracle of miracles, they fit perfectly. Weird.
