Comfortable and great fit for short women

Like the previous poster, I am 5'2" and 150 lbs. These pants fit me perfectly. They are fitted at the waist but do not pinch when you bend down or sit. They have a very tailored look, and the waist is adjustable very easily. The quality of construction is top notch.
The short length fits me; the regular length was too long. Typically when I buy pants that have articulated knees, the knees actually fall in the middle of my shin, so my knees are still very restricted when I bend them. With the shorter length, the knees actually fall to where my knees are, so when I bend them there is no restriction at all.
Even though these are considered a shell, they would be perfectly warm enough on a mildly cold day. They definitely aren't as warm as the insulated version, but they are not a strict shell (i.e. like your shell rain jacket would be). The side vents are easy to access if you become too warm while on the mt. on those bright sunny days.
I highly recommend these pants. They are extremely comfortable and fit great.
