Super comfy!
I hope Mountain Hardware continues to make these pants because they are so comfy and fit very well. They fit a little larger but the adjustable waistband helps alot. I recommend these pants!

Great Pants
I bought these pants for cross country skiing (and they are wonderful for that) but ended up loving them so much I wear them all the time. As a beginning cross country skiier I tend to fall from time to time and these pants kept me dry and the fabric still breathes well. The fit is great - I am short (5'4") and curvy but the short size fit me like a glove once I adjusted the waist with the built-in drawstring. I wear them around town quite a bit for running errands, etc. because they are so comfy and they wash up well. Overall, completely worth the money.

Best all around pants
These are the best all around pants. They are wrinkle free, look good and the comfort level is unsurpassed. Leave it to Mountain Hardwear to bring style and comfort to women's pants. They can be worn for kinds of activities, even everyday events. My favorite pants ever!!!! I actually put belt loops on them so I can wear a belt. It was very easy to. I used embroidery thread to fashion belt loops and they work just great.

Stylish!
I first ordered these pants in a size 6 but they were too snug. The size 8 is perfect, even with a pair of smart wool long underwear beneath them. I've even had a part of fleece under them and they still fit great. I love the drawstring in the lower legs and the velcro closure at the waist. These pants are stylish AND keep the snow out. Other than having to order a size larger than I normally wear, I'm very pleased. My husband has a pair and LOVES 'em! I haven't washed them yet so I can't speak to their durability.

Nice pants! But the petites are long, really long.
I love the pants but I will lose the drawcord on the ankles when I hem them because the petite/short are longer than the size chart says. I specifically bought them because they came in a petite length. The size 4 fit perfect everywhere except in the length, they are not 27" as the size chart said; they are 29". I am 5'1" and they are dragging on the ground, not safe to hike in, even when I tighten up the draw cord they are a little too long. I didn't feel the need to size up as recommended, I can easily wear a heavy base layer under these without being tight and I don't like my hiking pants to be skin tight. I don't think it mentions in the specifics but there is a internal drawcord in the waistband of these pants if you need to tighten them. That being said they feel wonderful, move well and look great, otherwise I'd send them back. Anyone know of a company that really makes hiking pants in petite lengths?? Most of the time I can't find them, or they are "sold out".
