Functional and flattering! By Forestlady from Fog Hollow on 08/11/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Functional pockets, High-Quality Material and Stitching, Lighter than jeans, Packable, Professional Looking Best Uses: Backpacking, Beachcombing, Camping, Casual cycling, Casual Wear, Hiking, Travel Describe Yourself: Outdoor Professional Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Glad I bought two pair. Fit my long lean figure while functional and flattering -- a tough combo. Flatfeld seam construction; washed well; fabric feels soft and moderately durable. Not for heavy construction.

By meep from Canada on 04/23/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Durable, High-Quality Material and Stitching, Lightweight, Packable Best Uses: Backpacking, Camping, Casual Wear, Fieldwork, Hiking, Travel Describe Yourself: Outdoor Professional Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I'm not particularly tall and have about a 30 cm difference between my waist and hip measurements, so I have a *terrible* time finding pants that fit me right off the shelf. Columbia Alderdale pants sit low enough on my hips to fit and when rolled up to "capri length" fall right at my ankles. The fabric is durable and there are more than enough pockets to stow everything I need for outdoor work (even straps for tools!). I have about eight pairs of these pants and would recommend them to anyone - particularly to petite women with difficult to fit proportions.
By acsbird from st louis MO on 04/04/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Lightweight Best Uses: Backpacking, Camping, Casual Wear, Hiking, Travel Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: The description said 36" inseam- it's more like 32. Barely long enough for me. I was hoping for more. all in all - comfortable fabric - stretchy without being hot.
By mom at home from ithaca, ny on 03/30/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Lightweight, Packable Best Uses: Casual Wear, Travel Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: These were really really long. I know the description said 34" long, but I figured that was for size 8. I ordered size 6 and they were long, so then I ordered size 4, and they were just as long. I ended up sending both back. Pity, because I really liked the pockets and stying.
