Why We Like The Methow Pant
We know our bodies do a great job of keeping themselves warm when we're moving fast on the mountain, but we count on the Methow Pant for that extra touch of warmth needed for climbing and hiking in winter's chill. Its fabric sheds light flurries or passing drizzles, and it breathes well, wicks moisture, and dries quickly for dry comfort that lasts through our adventure. We also love that this pant provides the utmost in UPF protection for that high-altitude sun.

Inelastic Waistband is a Bummer

Brick house babes beware - if you have power-lifting thighs/booty, these pants will BARELY pull on. Once on, you'll find that the waistband gapes around the midsection and is incompletely rescued by the drawstring, such that sizing up would not help. The rest of the pant fits great - nice combination of warmth, stretch, and tough exterior (like all the best people!) I like the ankle zips. I'll keep them, but wouldn't purchase again.

Soo cozy, but tight in the thighs
They are pretty loose on my waist (but don't fall down) and tight in the thighs (seams on thighs generally result in tightness for me) but they work for me. I wouldn't wear them running; I'm thinking of them for snowshoeing and general hiking in PNW weather, but I haven't taken them on a trail yet. The fabric feels pretty robust and I like the strategically placed fleece. If you get the green, the fleece is the color of Oscar the Grouch!

Weird waist
Love these, love the high pile fleece lining especially. Only complaint is the surprisingly unstretchy waistband that almost doesn't fit over my hips. Once cinched up around the waist, there's a lot of fabric that has to be drawn up with the cord, making it pucker in back. Otherwise great and look forward to using them for snowshoeing season

Cute... but not a ton of stretch
I bought this in hopes for winter running. The warmth factor is defiantly there, but not really the stretch needed for that kind of activity. Would be good as a hiking pant.

More please!
I bought a pair of these in black a while ago and was so pleased with them I decided to buy them in Loden. If there are any other colours, keep them coming! Super comfortable and versatile, I wear them everywhere.

Super tough leggings for places yoga pants are afraid to go.
As other reviewers mentioned, there isn't much stretch to these, but if they fit you, it really doesn't matter. I like how they stay put when they are on and the material is more durable than your typical legging material. I never understood why women wore leggings or yoga pants all the time, until I bought a pair of yoga pants, and I have seen the light. The Methow leggings are durable and comfortable and are now my go to yard work pants.

Survived the bramble patch!
My first day out with these leggings I was snowshoeing with a friend through unfamiliar trails when we found ourselves in a bramble patch with no way out but through. I figured there was no way my leggings would make it through without damage, but they didn't show an mark, and protected my legs as well! Warm, stylish and tear resistant!

Super pantalon
Pantalon ultra flexible aux mouvements, très doux et confortable. La bande de taille n'est pas fait dans un matériel extensible .. mais pourquoi ? Je porte xl (175lb) mais la bande de taille est dure à passer et très dure à resserrer avec le cordon :( le seul inconvénient. J'aime la chaleur, ce n'est pas un pantalon isolé mais bien un doublé de peluche (cette partie est coupe vent) ! Il y en a partout sauf derrière les jambes, du derrière de genou jusqu'en bas (ca c'est respirant). Je ne le mettrais peut être pas pour rando de 8h en montagne en hiver mais entre saisons ou des activités courtes mais intenses (ski fond, course)

After a season of use...
I bought these early in the winter for x-country skiing. I quickly learned that I need merino tights underneath for temperatures below -5C, and I've found the perfect combo of 3/4 tights with over-the-knee socks for cold conditions. The extra fleece is great in spots that I normally get too cold, and I've not had to wear my ski skirt this season because of it (which is great, because I find I have more mobility without the skirt), although I would have appreciated a bit more at the knees. I also like the phone pocket on the thigh. I'm 5'5", 135lbs, 35/29/39 and ordered the size medium. I'm swimming in the waist, but they fit everywhere else (with tights), but I can at least get them over my hips comfortably (there's nothing worse than popping a squat in the snow and then struggling to get everything back up). Thankfully there is a tie waist, so they don't fall down. Overall, I've grown to love these tights and find I wear them for winter walking as well. However, after a season of use, they are PILLING HORRIBLY anywhere and everywhere that the brushed fleece fabric is used, not just in high rub areas. They're still functional, but no longer fashionable.
