"I have been a big fan of these pants for work for years however after recent purchases to replace my existing 5 pairs, unfortunately found that the sizing and fit have changed quite a bit. Exchanged the first couple of pairs for the next size in hope they would fit better but again, was disappointed so ended up returning all pairs for a full refund and am now on the hunt for a new work pant."
"These are my all time favourite and I've had many pairs. Great for traveling, and general everyday where. Super comfy. Black ones can also dress up if needed. Cool in summer, easy to add a thermal layer in winter."
"Wore these recently on bush hike. Comfortable and with some ‘give’ when climbing up steep parts of the trail. Good fit although would be tight if I was to wear my merino leggings underneath if colder weather. Unfortunately the next size up (12) was too loose around the waist, an 11 would be good!"
"I never write reviews but must say I’m delighted with these trousers. I bought a version of these many years ago and wore them a hundred times. The fit was perfect for me. I gave up finding them again in the usual hiking shops until looking on line. Took a chance ordering and I’m over the moon with the fit, length and feel of the fabric(size 12 5ft6). I will probably order again in a different colour. Quick delivery too."
"We bought the pants online - great discount, quick delivery. My wife is very happy with the style, colour and design. Wonderful product."
"The sizing is to big, unable to return them due to losing my receipt. Kathmandu, have you changed your sizes? They are different to my last pair of flight pants"
"While the pants are some what comfortable what needs improving is the static of the material on the lower legs and perhaps a slightly higher waist by 2cm. I returned as I personally feel more comfortable in other Kathmandu pants."
"Fantastic pants, nice and light plus stretchy in the right places. So comfortable for doing everyday activities in. Love them!"
"Love these pants. I bought a pair years ago and needed a second pair so bought them when I saw them on sale. They are the most comfortable pants you will own. I recommended them to a girlfriend and she has bought two pairs herself. Plus my husband wears them. They will be all you will need when you travel."
"Comfy, plenty of pockets, exceptional fabric and quality. Perfect fit."
