Karen -Bought the pants for Alaska trip. Purpose of these pants were to keep me warm and dry during hikes and ocean tours. The fit was comfortable and I am very happy with the style and look. The pants' waist sits just below my naval, I would have liked them a little lower (I prefer low-rise). Sizes tend to run on the smaller size. Liked the versatility of adjusting the zipper for boot leg fit, also like the idea of the zip-off snap leg cuffs to keep debris out of your boots or remove them if not needed. It was easy to move around and NOT feel bulky, these light weight pants allowed me to bend without any restrictions. These are water-resistant NOT waterproof, I was standing in wind and drizzle/sprinkles and pants held off some moisture but gave in after 5-10 minutes. Pants did wick off moisture once the drizzles/sprinkles stopped. As far as warmth, I would have to say that it was a little weak, then again I get cold easily, and it didn't help being in 50 degree temp, with 20 mph wind...oh and sprinkles. Overall, I thought these pants were great and I would highly recommend them!

Pants run on the smaller size and leg length is also a little short. Drawstring design was inconvenient and did not allow for pants to feel secure on waist. Other than that, pants were light weight and served the purpose for hiking and holding some warmth.
