Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I've been looking for good hiking pant for ages! I wanted something comfortable but not sloppy, something that moves and stretches with me. I also wanted something that makes me look fabulous! I am 5'4", 138 pounds with a 28 inch waist and 40 inch hips. I carry most of my weight in my hips and thighs and finding pants that work with curves can be a challenge. I get frustrated with pants that look good right out of the washer, but then after a few hot hours on the trail stretch out and look sloppy. Not so with these. They stretch and move with my body, but hold their shape. I've taken them out on a few two-hour hikes and they've held up great so far! They're a little lower rise than I wanted and I was worried my back side would show when bending over, but the stretchy fabric minimizes that problem (I included a picture for reference). My pant size is usually between a 6 and an 8. I choose a 6 based on reviews to go down if you are between sizes. The 6 was a bit snug on me as expected. Initially I wondered if I should have gone up a size to allow for more movement and comfort when hiking, but decided that the 6 was the right choice as it fit me well in the waist without much of a gap which is often a problem with my shape. They are surprisingly comfortable even when snug. I appreciate the drawstring to eliminate the gap in the back. I got the regular length and they are a bit long. I just pinned them up at the seams with safety pins for now and will hem them later. The material is high quality and I look forward to wearing these on my frequent walks in the woods.
