This are officially the most comfortable pants I’ve ever owned. They are stretchy and I have full mobility, and the waistband is wide and elastic so having a bit of a belly is not a problem. The amount of taper is perfect - they aren’t tight like leggings, they’re a bit loose, but they aren’t baggy by any means. For reference, I am currently a size 12 in women’s jeans. The pockets are deep—I can fit my whole hand in up to my wrist—and the back pockets have a zipper so I won’t have to worry about my card wallet falling out. The material is thin and quick drying so they wouldn’t be hot or sweaty in summer, but it’s substantial enough to not feel cold on a chilly (not frigid) morning. I do kind of wish they weren’t cropped because with socks they just look too short, but actually I think that feature would be nice for hiking or rock climbing as they would tuck nicely into a boot and wouldn’t get stuck on a foothold. I will definitely be wearing these for all outdoor activities from now on and kind of want to get another pair in another color!
