Too low-rise

By cmkudija2373317 Ranked #520 - Women's Hiking Pants July 16, 2009

Those of us of a "certain age" often need a bit more "rise" than these pants offer. These hit approximately 2" below the navel (well, at least MY navel :-) ) and while they fit well - the low-rise renders them unsuitable for my volunteer trail-maintenance uniform application. I also echo the "stupid wide" leg opening comment below.

The nylon canvas fabric would otherwise be great for cool-weather travel, and if you like low-rise they'd be fine. But for tasks requiring lots of bending-over they're just too low for me. Perhaps if I was still 20-something... I might have kept them if the fabric was lighter-weight - they have a great reinforced knee area - but I'm looking for something that breathes in 90-95-degree heat that's also suitable for trailwork. In green. Suggestion to Backcountry: note the rise in your description of women's pants and save shipping a product that wouldn't otherwise be ordered!
