First of all, I LOVE these hiking pants after wearing them all day today. I ordered the size 4 in black and was debating also ordering a 6 to compare the fit but decided to stick with the 4 because it loosens up just enough to be comfortable without feeling loose enough to be annoying while hiking. My measurements: waist: 26", hips: 39.5", calves: 15.25" (I usually wear a size 5, 6, or 7 in pants). These pants are very comfortable in the hips but feel the most restricted in the knees and calves (see photos for fabric seam locations and general fit).

Pros: great material that can be brushed off easily while hiking in dirt, lots of pockets which will hold my cell phone and everything else I don't want to open my pack to get frequently, belt loops for a belt or to clip carabiners on, 97% nylon means it won't shrink on me over time.

Cons: the black is not as dark as a true black. It is slightly lighter in color than most of my black clothes, but definitely not a deal breaker for me. I just like my blacks to be as dark as my soul, you know?. I wish it was 4 or 5% spandex rather than 3% elastane, but 3% is better than nothing and it stretches well enough; I wish the seams above/below the knee were not so restrictive, but it only becomes noticable when climbing up a step approximately 2 feet tall or greater, or when crossing your legs to sit ("criss-cross applesauce" style). If these pants were 4 or 5% elastic I think the knee seams wouldn't seem so restrictive.

Would I recommend these and order again? Definitely.
