Good Pant, Bad Fit

By ANNIE NAYLOR Ranked #165 - Women's Hiking Pants August 1, 2010

I really liked the way this pant performed which is why I'm giving them 4 stars, but they're not the most flattering. I bought two pairs and backpacked over slickrock for 8 days in them in March. They were pretty lightweight and kept me cool but held up really well through some hefty scrambles, and both pairs made it through the trip with no scuffs or rips. In hiking pants I prefer a loose fit across my hips and thighs, and although the waist fit the hips were way too narrow. It seemed like they were made for a man! If you don't have many curves they're probably the perfect pants for you, but I ended up exchanging them for Pranas (which I LOVE, by the way)
