Great fit and features, weak stitching

By Laurie Patton Ranked #215 - Women's Hiking Pants July 6, 2009

I loved these pants immediately for the excellent fit and features. Two ample front pockets with zippers beneath standard side pockets hold the items I like to keep close at hand, and the elasticized pant bottoms work well and cover my boot laces. The waist belt could be longer on the tightening end as it's hard to get enough of it to really pull tight. Having said all that, on my third wearing, a backpacking trip into the Emigrant Wilderness, the entire rear seam ripped out, and I had to hike out with my red undies peaking out with each step. I am returning them for an exchange, although this might be enough to make me think they are simply defective. If I didn't like all the other features, I'd look for another style, but I'll try one more pair.
