Versatile Pant, great fit!

By sooze Ranked #338 - Women's Hiking Pants November 12, 2010

Great fitting pant. Slightly scratchy on the material but durable considering the lighter weight. So many ways to adjust the waist. Fixed snap & zipper closure with drawstring back up. Also provides for those who need a belt with real belt-loops surrounding the entire pant. With that design you could buy large for the cooler months and layer and always be able to cinch up the waist if they get sloppy in warmer weather. These pants do run a size small (like most North Face bottoms) At almost 5'8 @ 140+ I wear the size 10 regulars. The regular length inseam of 32" works okay but if you're a true 5'8" or taller go for the longs. Even with the material not being cotton I'm diligent to always air dry in fear of shrinking.

Already have two pair and just ordered a new pair today (trying the longs). Note: These are not a tight fitting pant but are not loose either. They do not have a gusseted crotch but double seamed for some extra width in the leg. They probably hike like a dream (but who does that?). Okay for climbing as the waist doesn't slip with the harness and there is still enough movement in the legs.
