These pants are a bit fleecy, so good for cold weather, maybe not for the desert. I wore these when I hiked the Grand Canyon in February and I am so glad I had them! They kept my warm and were loose and not constricting. Quality was decent, they fit as they should, maybe a bit roomy.

My dad saw me in them and said it looked like I went to a cold weather outfitter with my bulky red coat that day, lol.

I recommend if you're doing outdoor exercises in winter or cold climates.
