Impressed

By CaliAtHeart Ranked #279 - Women's Casual Pants October 11, 2009

I'm a huge icebreaker fan, but have had trouble finding a pair of lightweight merino pants that I like. Figured I'd give Patagonia's merino a chance, and boy am I impressed. The merino for this pant is very soft, like buttery cotton-jersey soft -- it's a different knit from icebreaker. There is no waist elastic in the pant -- the fabric itself is stretchy enough -- so the pant does not become uncomfortable at the waist area. The fabric drapes very well and looks very nice. No pockets though :-( I'm 5'4", 39" hip. Got a medium, which fit great except it was TOO LONG. I had to sew the pant legs up a little. I'd say this pant in M is closer to 32"-33" inseam. I wear this for yoga, morning jogs, and lounging around the house since they're so comfy. Would be a 5-star if they offered it in short and added pockets.
