ColumbiaWomen's Anytime Outdoor Boot Cut Pant

Discovered these pants in a sporting goods store and purchased a pair to take on a cruise overseas. These were so perfect that I've bought two more pair. For traveling, very lightweight and they roll and pack into a small space. Being nylon, I easily washed them in bathroom sink and they dried quickly for another walking tour the next day. I typically don't find that lightweight nylon fabrics hold a smooth finish after a few wearings and washings (often they begin to pucker at the seams), I'm not finding this to be the case with these. They may appear a bit lumpy on the hanger, but after putting them on, the lumps disappear and they look smooth and nice. I would not feel uncomfortable wearing these, with a nice top, to dinner. I am 5'7" and 150, wear size 10, and the boot cut looks great. In other nylon pants, after machine drying sometimes the nylon will draw up and they become too short for me, but these have retained their length!Okay, it sounds like I really love these, so why only 4 stars? They have a zipper, a snap and a string tie at the waist. Sometimes to get the waist snug enough (they tend to get looser throughout the day), I find I've tied the drawstring so tight that the pants pucker underneath. For this reason, usually wear these pants with a shirt untucked. These are cool, comfortable, easy wash and wear... A win, win, win!If you find this review helpful, please let me know by using the voting buttons.

I really like these pants. I'm 5'5 and 140lbs with a curvy build, and I went with a size 8 in these. They are loose, and could size down to be more stylish, but sizing up one from my normal size 6 was super comfortable. They're very easy to move in. I bought these for a long trip out to Yosemite, Sequoia, and King's Canyon from the east coast, so these needed to be 1) easily packable and take up little space, 2) reasonably stylish, since they would be my only long pants 3) dry fast and function well for hikes in varied temperatures and very importantly 4) be comfortable for traveling and hiking. In short, these pants worked well on all accounts.1) I bought two pairs - black and "Pulse," which is a grey with faintly purple undertones. They are thin, so they pack very easily and don't take up much space at all. They also release their wrinkles within a few minutes of wear, so you can ball them up pretty roughly and still have them look good later.2) Like I mentioned, I sized up a little on these for ease of movement. I was a little worried these would look like I was wearing scrubs everywhere, but they're really not bad. Sizing up a little, you can't really see underwear lines, and the boot cut fit shows that you still have a figure, so they look good in an "outdoorsy" kind of way.3) These dry very nicely. You can wash them in the sink at night and have them dry by morning. Also, my kids splashed water at my husband and I while I was wearing these pants, and my husband's jeans were all streaked with water; my pants just had beaded droplets that fell off. Also, when I got persistent dirt on these, I was able to take a wet sponge and just rub the spot away. That being said, these pants still breathe amazingly well, and were very comfortable in the desert (Death Valley, they did very well). They feel breezy and light, don't retain moisture and sweat at all, and have a decent SPF rating. One thing worth mentioning is that the Pulse color worked great in the desert, but the black does feel a little hotter in direct sunlight. During cold nights, these pants are very thin, and are certainly not made for cold conditions. If you're looking to do some hiking under fluctuating temps, I'd think about bringing along a thin base layer to put under these.4) Last of all, comfort. These are the most comfortable hiking/traveling pants I've ever had. They have a snap button and a drawstring, so they're reasonably adjustable; this makes them very forgiving for days spent hiking and climbing and nights spent with junk food and beer. Sizing up a little allowed for great range of movement, and the drawstring allows for more size variance. Being 5'5, they didn't drag on the ground while I wore hiking shoes, but I did need to tuck them under my heel in flip flops.Overall, these are great pants for traveling and hiking. I haven't put them through a lot of washes, so I can't speak for their long term durability, but they were very comfortable and performed well.

I am 5' 5" and 150lbs and purchased the size 8 regular and the fit great. The pockets may gap a little so a 10 would probably have been sufficient as well. I wore these all weekend on a backpacking trip. Comfortable and lightweight even in 90 degree weather. The only concern was that the fabric was easier for ticks to hold on to than my husband's more standard hiking pants. Additionally, the area that sits tight against the skin (thighs), mosquitos were able to bite through. I walked through a stream and they dried very quickly!

I'm in love with these pants! So comfortable and the fit is fantastic! I'm 5'5 145 Curvy athletic built. I carry weight in my hips, rear, and thighs. These pants are perfect. I got a size 8 regular which is the size pants I wear in everything and they are roomy. If these were everyday pants, I'd get a size 6 but for hiking and canyoneering, these are perfect. Can't recommend them enough!The drawstring at the waist assures that they won't fall off. I wore these on a 13 hour canyoneering trip in Zion Canyon. They dried quickly and made it so I could move comfortably. I also wear them as everyday pants because they look so good and are comfortable.

These pants were a great fit around Waist /Hips plenty of stretch for that belly and bending I’m 5”2 160 and the large was a perfect fit little long about an inch at the bottom easy fix my only big issue was they are so thin like paper thin if you intend to walk in the fall in them on a chilly morn in Canada you will need a warm tight underneath apart from that everything else was great for the price

This product is NOT the same as the Columbia brand pants I bought in the store. After two wears the pants are pilling in the thighs. My other pair I bought 2 years ago in the store do not do this. And the button does not snap properly.DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THESE AS THEY ARE NOT THE SAME QUALITY PRODUCT THAT COLUMBIA SELLS.BUYER BEWARE.

I bought this pant as a backup for a pair that I have owned for many years, just in case something happens to them. I wear them all the time, in cooler weather they keep me warm, in hot weather they keep me cool. It takes a few wears to loosen up the fabric but after that they are incredible comfortable and good modern look.

Pros: Lightweight, very light stretch but in all the right places. Business-casual, work-appropriate technical pants. Washer and dryer- friendly. Best stored on hanger.Cons: Snap closure does not hold up to time.

I only bought these because they said that they were NOT polyester as I am allergic. Turns out there is a hidden lining inside which is 100% polyester! This of course being inside the pant legs will make them impossible to wear! If you are looking to avoid scratchy polyester or if you are allergic I cannot recommend.
