Tribal Sportswear Stretch Moleskin Pants - Pull-On (For Women)

The manufacturer erred by not putting some stretch in the waist band. If you're lucky and these pants happen to fit you perfectly, they would be great pants. Unfortunately, they were a little big in the waist/hips for me, and without some stretch to compensate, I had to send them back. Not sure what the manufacturer was thinking.

I just got these and wore them comfortably. I will have to wait and see how they come out after washing and line drying. They were a great bargain and if they dry nicely, will make a great and easy to wear addition to the winter wardrobe.

After reading loads of comments from (apparently) very slender women who ordered their own size or even a size down and found that the pants flapped on them like elephant skin--well, I'm here to represent the other side of the Bell curve. I'm 5'6, weigh 167, and usually wear a size 14 with just a bit of room to spare (depending on the make, model, and style). I have about a 1-qt. pot of a belly and quite an, er, developed backside. And oh yes--small waist, considering all that's going on below. So. On everyone's advice I ordered a couple of size 12s (if you need to try this, at LEAST order one up, one down! Then you'll only have to send one back!). I could walk and breathe and didn't have the impossible time pulling the pants on everyone swore I would, but they sang to the world my every cellulite wrinkle, never mind the pantylines. Back they went but I have high hopes for my regular size.

The waist does not stretch or allow you to get over your hips. I am a slim person and it still didn't fit because of the waist issue. Otherwise, they looked like a nice pair of pants. I love the tribal brand.

I bought these to go to Antarctica, upon recommendation that I should have moleskin pants. With the high crotch and large waist, the pants weren't comfortable, alas. I guess I'll just buy fleece . . .
