Mountain Hardwear Power Pants - Polartec® Power Stretch® (For Women)

Read the reviews and thought these would fit a size 10 to 12 person but they felt like a solid 14 AND were beyond high wasted. I recently purchased a pair of size 10 mountain hardware pants that sit below the waste (I am 5'8 and short wasted) so fit fine just below my belly button). Their sizing chart says M is 8 to 10 so I went with Large. These came up two inches above (had that feeling of what it would be like to wear suspenders). [...]

These pants are not as long as advertised, which is great for me because I am 5'4". I am not an outdoors person at all, but a work-at-home and drive all afternoon and evening mom. These are lightweight and very warm and comfortable, really perfect for moms who want to be comfortable and warm without looking like a kid in snowpants. This brand makes high-quality clothing. Great deal.

These pants were awesome, with one major con - they were super long for me. I had to hem them at least 5 inches, and I'm 5'6". I got the large because it was the only size available then, and I usually wear a medium. The large is comfortable and roomy, just too long. I have worn them out around town, and on a hike in the winter and they were great!

Great length! Wonderful fabric! No drawstring, no way to keep thise up when really moving. Too bad as I loved all els about them. I debated adding a new elastic, or a drawstring....but then...just sent them back.

I have a pair of Mountain Hardware Powerstretch Tights that I love... warm, comfortable, lightweight and very durable. This style is designed for women who would like hip-huggers... the rise is short so they hit about 3 - 4 inches below the waist and I'm relatively short at 5' 4". Not a great feature if you want to have things stay tucked in and keep warm... not to mention that I didn't look good in hip-huggers 40 years ago when I was a teenager and still don't now. Also, I find the Mountain Harware brand to run a bit small... I am a size 6 pant and the hips on the medium in this style and the tights just fit.
