"They are comfortable, & fit well. But, after only 8 wearing they are pulling in the crotch area. For the price I paid would expect them to last longer."

Reviews
Practical & comfortable
"Here pants are really comfortable with good stretch but returning to shape. The fabric is great for harsh conditions & easy care. I find Kathmandu sizing is consistent making it easy to order online."
Pilling
"Although they are a comfortable and travel friendly pant, after just one time of wearing they fabric pilled where legs rubbed together. Very disappointing as are now not suitable for wearing in public. The sizing was perfect so this was not the issue. The stretchy fabric is the issue."
Women's Flight Pants
"I got the size wrong (probably my fault) and had to return. Advice from customer services was excellent and I received a refund and was able to reorder the correct size. The whole process went smoothly without any issues."

Q&A
- Hi I would love a pair of your flight pants in black size 8,any available anywhere?
- thank you for your question, If you look them up on our website and search under the "find in store" function it will let you know if there is any available in the size and colour you are looking for. Thank you.
- What is the length of the inside leg please?
- 80cm
- In one or two photos they look like they have a zip and they are removable that makes them just over the knee. Am I seeing this correctly, for me I just want one length no zip, don't want quarter pants or whatever they are called..
- There is no zip off feature to these pants.
- What is the difference between the new flight pants and the ones in clearance?
- The new style has a bit less Elastane to the material composition and is slightly different in the measurements but not significantly.
