I have to wear these for work every day (well I'm suppose to wear 5'11s made for mean) but these are a great substitute, they are made for women so no more saggy butt.  They have pockets within the pockets to put everything without losing it.  I work in the desert and they are not too heavy, it's getting cold and so far they are holding up nicely.  They did come unhemmed at the bottom I just fold mine but easy alteration to fix.  I'm 5'5 135lbs (small waist, muscular legs) so I ordered the 8 just to be safe and they fit great, I order 1 size 6 and they are just a little snug for working in the desert with a bunch of men, the 8 are loose without being to large.
