Fantastic - do fit small

By William C Clark Ranked #167 - Men's Softshell Pants February 26, 2011

I wish I could keep these, but, alas they are too small! The material is perfect for what I am looking for: spring skiing in the PNW. Cuffs definitely fit over T2Xs and because the ankle zip is gusseted, it doesn't matter that you can't zip it all the way. I am able to adjust my top buckle without pulling the pant leg up. Pockets are great (surprisingly effective are the thigh pockets), belt is great, inseam is great. They are too small though. I got size small and am 5'5" 125/130 and about a 29 waist - this waist is too small for active sports and there is very little room in the hood area. I'd bump to the mediums but a 33 waist on those will have me swimming. Unfortunate, I want to keep them. I'd give them a 5 but I won't get a chance to test their outdoor worth.
