The Aysen Women's Pants are praised for their stretch waistband, two-way stretch, and comfortable fit, making them ideal for hiking. Customers appreciate the useful zippered pockets and the smart look of the pants. However, feedback on sizing is mixed, with some finding them large.

"Great pants light weight very stretchy. I’m a ten normally but downsized to an eight from reading reviews ,great fit and great for traveling/walking"

"I ordered two sizes down based on reviews and that was correct. I am normally a ten so I ordered a six - great fit. I also ordered an 8 just in case. They are roomier - I can slip them off without undoing the waste but also super comfy so I kept both. They will be great for overseas travel - plane and out and about. Love them."

"I love my original pair of Aysen pants which I bought approx 8-10 years ago and still wear. I have dreamed of buying a back up pair. Today was the day!:Unfortunately when I tried them on, my perfect pants were no longer the perfect fit. The sizing was different . . . Previously a size 10 I had to drop to a size 6 before they didn't fall down, I found the elastic at the back quite loose and ineffective and the cut has also slightly changed. I am sad to say I could not purchase them π and will now have to seek out a new style."
