Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I love, love, love these pants! I usually don't wear such sporty styles but needed something for my vacation where I was going to do A LOT of hiking. When these came, I was extremely happy to see no gaping around my waist. My measurements are 26/38, and I always have to deal with either waist band too lose or hips too tight. The pant fits almost perfectly over my curves! I tried 4p and 6p and could use both. 6p looked more relaxed in the hips while 4p had zero gap in the waist. There is a gusset in crotch so no seam in the way. I noticed that the gusset looked more natural with pants less stretched over hips. It folded and created some bulk with smaller size. That made me choose 6p. I took these pants and two pairs of capris (same brand, same style as the pants) with me on vacation and found myself never wanting to take the pants off. OMG, they are SO comfortable! They got very dirty in the canyons and I hand washed them in a hotel sink - yes, I wanted to wear them that much! The fabric is very soft and stretchy. The side pockets are sewn to the main fabric and therefore don't bunch up. I wish they did the same with the knee pocket. The zippered knee pocket is very useful for little things that you don't want to lose and don't want to bother you. I kept my hotel room key there. There are two backside pockets as well. I wore silk long underwear under the pants in mid 30s temp and was not cold. I wore the pants alone in 70s and was not hot - they actually created that breeze feeling around my legs, so I didn't even want to wear my capri (and didn't bother to convert these either). Oh, and the convertible function is so discreet - you would never notice. That adds to the stylish casual look - pants don't look sporty. Did I mention the awesome flattering fit? Also, the fabric is very thin but not cheap thin. It's great! And it gets softer after washing. Oh, I forgot to tell you - stains come right off! Can't say I like the picture here. It does show the true fit through legs but I feel like the rise is not as low as shown. Also, the picture has somewhat masculine feel. I didn't notice that in person. The fit is incredible and very feminine and flattering. The pant is very skillfully tailored actually. I fell in love with these pants and ordered another pair as soon as I returned (in different color).
