I have these in a petite 12. They fit better than any other pants I've tried on. They look better than my Gap and Eddie Bauer khakis. They are lightweight, sturdy, stain-resistant, and comfortable. The only downside is they make a swish sound when I walk, but I got over that quickly.

Love these pants, but the waist is a bit too large. I tried one size down and the waist fit fine, but the seat was too tight. So... I settle for comfort in the seat and a waist that is too loose.

I bought these pants for a 4 day/3 night backpacking trip. Felt snug at first but stretched enough to still be comfortable and fit good. They performed great! Held up thru humid hot weather, rain & cool nights! Dried fast after getting pretty wet. Very comfortable! The fit was perfect, low waist and no lumps! Nice fit under my backpack! Tear resistant for rugged climbs. Would recommed to a friend.

Very nice pants- own five pairs. Everything is so well thought out on design and comfort. Hope these are available next year. Perfect fit. Wish waist was elastic- as pants are worn, they stretch but waist starts getting too large and pants start dropping down. Belt helps a lot but elastic in waist combined with the belt would be great. I adore these pants. Don't wrinkle easily, very very easy to care for.

Have worn these pants on a train trip and a one day car trip - they are VERY comfortable, hold their shape, and don't get seat-sprung (or get baggy knees).

Goes right from cubicle to crag

Waist:

Length:
Feels true to length
Best Uses:
Backpacking, Casual Wear, Climbing, Hiking
Describe Yourself:

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

These are nice enough for business casual attire, but comfy enough to climb in. Perfect for apres-office climbs. They were so comfortable, I bought a pair of Compass capris and shorts, too.

My one gripe applies to the entire women's garment industry - update the size charts! According to the EMS size chart, my 28.5" waist and 38.5" hips should be sporting a size 10. In truth, size 2 was none too tight. What do the petite gals wear? I'm glad my EMS is close by so I could try these on in person.
