Comfortable versatile Pants
"I wore these pants on a 9-mile hike on the Appalachian Trail, and overall I was really impressed. The biggest standout is how stretchy they are. They made hiking, scrambling over rocks, and climbing so much easier because they move with you instead of against you. I especially appreciated the extra give through the knees and seat—they never felt restrictive, even after miles on the trail. The pockets were another favorite feature. I kept my chapstick and pepper spray within easy reach, and since we were hiking with our three young kids, I loved being able to stash all of their little "treasures" (rocks, sticks, and other finds!) right in my pockets without constantly taking my backpack off. For sizing, I typically wear a size 6 and ordered a medium. I would recommend sizing down—I think a small would have fit me much better, as they do seem to run a bit large. My only real complaint is the drawstring. It's more decorative than functional, so it doesn't actually tighten the waistband. A true working drawstring would have made the fit even better. Overall, these are incredibly comfortable hiking pants with excellent stretch and practical pockets. I'd definitely wear them again for long hikes and outdoor adventures."
