ExOfficio Nio Amphi Convertible Pant - Women's

Like them so far!

By Ranked #502 - Women's Hiking Pants June 16, 2009

Sizing was a bit inaccurate, so had to exchange for the right size, but once I had the right size they were fine. I agree with the other review that the waist is high enough to be comfortable (though I can't wait for "low-rise" to go out of fashion!). My only problem has to do with my height (5'2")--the legs are a bit long for me, but the elastic at the bottom of the legs does take care of the problem for the most part--they just look a bit baggy. Otherwise, I like the length of the shorts (not super short, like so many) and there are good pockets. The pants seem wind resistant, but cool and light. We'll see how well the rain resistance works on my walking/hiking holiday in Scotland at the end of this month! Thanks Backcountry.

Was the sizing a bit too large or a bit too small. I'm ordering these for my wife who is generally a medium so am wondering if I should get the size 8 or the size 10. Any feedback would be appreciated!!
