Great fit - leaner in the hips (which I find is typical for Prana), and not too tight in the thighs.  They do not taper in the leg like the skinny pants of late, but that's all the more reason for me to like these, since the skinny leg look is not one that works for me.  They do fall down on my hips, but that's pretty typical with low waisted pants for me.  I have gotten used to wearing a belt.  The fabric has some stretch, but not overly rediculous like some.  Also, the fabric is decently thick - not super thin.  The color is very popular right now, so I have quite a few things to match them up with.  Looks great with gray (also very popular color at the moment).
