Best pants!--but diff colors=diff fits

By Nikki Schnupp Ranked #360 - Women's Hiking Pants June 8, 2010

I got the gray pair. Fabric is light weight and soft, but seems durable (haven't really tested this) and stain resistant. They're very comfortable--fit well in all the places and stretch enough to move in. Wore them all over Ecuador. They didn't hold odor like synthetics sometimes do. I could wash them in the sink at night, wrap them in a towel (to get out the extra water), hang them to dry, and wear them early the next morning--loved this! I'm 5'1", 110, athletic build (boyish, no curves) and the 2 short fit well in the gray. Still a little long (as always), but I "pegged" them when I didn't feel like wearing capris and they were cute that way. Strange thing, though: the blue and the black seemed too big in the 2 short; I'd like to try a 0 in the blue (but BC doesn't carry 0; REI does) because I like that color best--and get another pair. Also, the fabric for the blue wasn't as soft.
