Mescalita Pant - Women's

Strange fit

Familiarity:

I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

Size Bought:

M

I wanted to love these, but they are cut strangely. Tighter in calves and thighs, snug around waist, but very baggy below waist and behind. They seemed like they might fit well enough after a wash, but there was so much sagging and bunching in the butt by the end of the day it was embarrassing. This happens sometimes with climbing pants, but usually the wider thighs compensate. The tight thighs in these and not enough rebound in the denim just created a lot of awkward extra material with nowhere to go. They are comfortable to climb in and wear around. Sizing down might also help, but there is nothing available, so I can't say. I am 5'5", 130#, hourglass. Maybe if you have a lot of junk in the trunk these would be the perfect fit and they might be worth a try.
