Side by Side Comparison of: Match vs Columbia

I am a 00. These are perfect for my job as a Park Attendant as I could not find pants to fit through our company. I love the green color. The fit is comfortable and the pants are sturdy.

Just pay attention to the Asian/vs/US style variation, and you'll absolutely love these cargos! I wear a size 7 (in juniors, not womens, big difference!), and purchased a Small (US). They fit perfect, kinda sit low on hips, so I get the 'baggy' look, but a 'cool' 'baggy' look, not a 'baggy' 'baggy' look (LOL!) I'm being serious, if that's your thing (I'm a bit tomboyish), you'll love these! I got a light blue, and put it with light blue hiking boots, light grey thermal, and white puffy hooded vest, got alot of compliments, and really enjoy wearing these!

For reference, I'm a typical size XS or 2 in women's, size 5/7 in juniors. Waist is 26.5", natural waist 33", hips 38". I bought the M/28 in the 2058, which is supposed to be the thicker fabric according to the reviews. I am very very happy with the fit, although I feel that these run a little small in the waist compared to most size 28s that I've worn.Pros: very sturdy cargo fabric. I'm active and work some manual labor jobs, which means that I destroy clothes in about two seconds. After two months of regular wear I haven't even managed to tear a pocket. The fabric is thick enough that you can't pick a wedgie, but has enough stretch for you to move comfortably. The side snap pockets are great, very secure. Love wearing these to rock-climb and hike.Cons: The fly button fell off almost immediately, so I sewed it back on and moved it over a tad for a slightly looser fit. MUCH better fit as a result.Overall: these will last me at least a year, which is impressive considering how active my jobs can be. Fitted cargo pants are difficult to find. I'm glad I ordered these!

I have looked everywhere for women's cargo pants (that fit) with no success, until now!These pants are great! The material is good, not that parachute stuff. It has lots of pockets, which was really important to me. The only real complaint I have about them is that the upper pockets on the sides of the legs are 2 long skinny pockets (vs. one larger square-ish pocket) making them less useful as there is not much that would fit in them. All the other pockets on the pants are a good size though.I am 5'4" 115lbs and ordered a Medium since the instructions said to get 1-2 sizes larger than I usually wear. I typically wear a Womens 00 or Juniors 0. They fit just a tiny bit looser than I would have liked and sag down and hang on my hips if I do not use a belt. They are also just a little longer than I need, but that isn't a big deal. I tried washing them in hot water but they did not shrink at all. I am tempted to order another pair in the small to see if that fit is better but I would still keep the medium because they are perfectly wearable and very comfortable.P.S.- As a petite female who has a hard time finding pants that are small enough in the waist for me, I feel as though discovering pants from China come in smaller sizes is life changing!

SO I am more than pleased with these Match Cargos. These are my 2nd pair & I will be ordering more. I normally wear all high end jeans, Citizens, 7 for Mankind, ect, & I am honestly shocked how much I am in love with these. I am 5'0" & 105 so the petite/boyish cut & fit of these are just perfect for my small frame. I am always a 25 in any other brand of jeans & I got these in a 27 & they couldn't look any better. I did order the other Match Cargos & they run baggier than these. They are also super thin summer material & this pair is THICK, more winter, rugged, last for yrs material. These are def a small, petite, not a lot of curves "boyish" body flattering jean. I will be ordering another pair ASAP!

Okay, so I am petite about 5'1 and 105 lbs and I bought the size 8. Way too big. No problem, I have a friend who I gave them to. So then, I bought a size 6 and they fit well (with a belt). There is plenty of wiggle room (if one like that). I am afraid to get the size 4, because I want to be able bend and stretch without having to break a seam. I bought these for hiking, so love the numerous pockets (for camera filters, chap stick, lotions, and so forth). I also want to add, that the material on some of the pants are different. I bought the Army green (by the way, the material is so thick, if I were to fall off a rock or cliff, I would not have any cuts or abrasions) thick material. Then I bought the brown pair. This material is much thinner than the Army green ones. If I were to fall with those, I would surely get cuts and bruises. I also bought the Khaki's, but like the Army green pants, these too, are made from a very thick material. Overall, I loved them. If you are petite like myself, but like form fitting, I would go for the size 4. If wiggle room is what you are looking for (but not enough wiggle room to make a rap video), then the size 6 is the way to go. Hope that helps anybody interested in these pants.

Happy with purchase!

Great fit; quality product! Bought for my trip to Africa and I LOVE them! They are casual and classy looking all at the same time. Very light weight; yet durable. Fit well! I Love the zipper to convert to shorts; zipper is well hidden and is well made.

The sizes listed on this post is pretty true to US size. I am 5'4" (29" inseam) and 100 lbs. I usually wear 00 or 0 or 25/00 in jeans in US sizes and the S/27/00 fits as expected. They fit at the waist, but there is wiggle room throughout the pants. It's neither tight nor baggy. The length is probably best for someone who is 5'5" or 5'6" (these are 31" inseam). There are drawstring for the legs so if you want cinch the leg length you can. Otherwise, just get them hemmed. The two sets of magazine pockets on the thighs have a narrow opening (2") wide, making it somewhat difficult to retrieve things in the pocket. It's a shame because if the manufacturer didn't sew the opening down, the pocket past the opening is actually expandable. While these legs are straight, because there is a little extra room for the thighs and cargo pockets, they look a tiny bit like they are tapered. The circumference of the bottom of the pant leg is 15". They washed well in cold water and drying in low heat did not shrink anything. The material on the 2058 and 2032 are medium weight, so good for cooler weather. Also, pay attention to the codes: 2058, 2059 and 2032. Each model # represents a different material weight and pocket designs and placement. So, look at the pictures closely for subtle differences in design.

I bought three different sizes of these pants as the reviews were VERY confusing. Some consider it fits tight and others to loose. I'm 5'2 and weigh about 120Lb. the XL( US size 6) were really too big which was surprising as I usually do wear size 4 to 6. The material though is nice and thick in the #2032. The L size (US size 4) fits well with some spare room at the waist. The inside cord proves a great feature! The pants are a bit long, but knowing I'm a bit short, nothing new under the sun. There is also a cord at the bottom of each leg which allow you to make a secure fit that won't budge. Finally the M size (US size 2) was a perfect fit. The waist is secure, no need of a belt nor the inside cord. It does not feel tight either and it will definitely be my "go to" pants this fall. I purchase the Camo #2036 and you should note that the thickness of the material is less than the #2032.
Overall I'll keep the three size as I really like the pants anyway. I'll just wear a belt with the XL one and get along with it. Hope this helps:)

I was totally confused on the fit of these pants based on other peoples reviews. I'm normally US size 2 for reference, american eagle jeans size 2, height 5'5, weight 115-120lb. I went up a size to a 4 for these. They seemed to fit, but were a bit loose. If I was to reorder I think I would try going with the size 2. Just because these pants are already pretty thick and heavy material. If you also get them loose on top of that, then they just become too bulky in my opinion. Overall, if you're looking for a heavy duty camping/active cargo pants, these are a good choice for you, they look like a solid pant! I had to return just because I'm looking for lighter cargo pant that could be worn everyday. The search continues!

I am happy with my purchase. I bought the orange and mud color and the pants received were similar to the color on the site; though belts were not included in my package. Fit wise, I'm 5'4", 120lbs and normally wear a 4 or 5 in jeans; I bought the XL and they fit well, roomy in the waist, good thing there is a drawstring waist band. I'm, ahem, "bottom heavy" and they fit well there, without extra room though. The pants have a 31.5" inseam, with drawstrings on the bottom for adjustable fit; too long for me, I will cut and hem them. 100% cotton.

I needed pants to do some outdoor work in and wanted something with pockets.

I don't know if they updated the description since some of the poor reviews but they're pretty accurate as of this review. Make sure to measure yourself and match the measurements to the ones in the description because they do tend to run small. I'm a US6 and got the XL; fits GREAT. I wanted them to be loose fitting but still flattering (because that's what girls do :P) and these were perfect. They're a nice heavy, durable cotton that will probably last through several washes. In the other reviews I read stuff about it being really long in the crotch but I don't experience that at all; they're normal rise and hit just below the belly button for me (I'm 5'2").

One thing I didn't expect though was that the cargo pockets by the knees are actually two narrow pockets next to eachother, not one large pocket..which I would have found more useful, but that's okay. Also..the picture shows the pants with a belt, which mine did not come with. Luckily I find the belt hideous and wouldn't have worn it anyway haha.

These were "Fulfilled by Amazon" so I received them in 2 days. Easiest purchase ever.

I bought two pair of these pants for a recent trip to Costa Rica and they did well for my trip. I spent a lot of time in the rainforest where it was very hot and humid, but I was glad to have my legs protected by pants with the option for zipping off. I never felt too hot in them despite it being 90 degrees and humid.

I removed one star for the fit. The black pair fit well but the green pair were noticeably larger. I needed to steal a belt from my boyfriend's similar pants to wear with the green pair. These also seem to run a little smaller than other Columbia pants I tried on in stores. I typically wear size 6-8 pants and shorts from several popular brands, but in these I wore a size 10 (could have probably fit in size 8 but definitely not a 6). I typically wear size long pants with a 34" inseam but these size 10 regular fit ok with hiking shoes. They do look much better on the model wearing the black pair than the green pair on this page.

I find the look with the bottom zipped off to be extremely unattractive but when I'm sweating in the rainforest I guess I don't care that much. But I would not have kept these intending to wear them mostly as shorts.

Love these pants. I have a curvy body and had to get a size up because my luscious thighs were squeezed uncomfortably by the band in the size 8, but only when I sat down. I have these pants in several colors and would recommend them to anyone with a curvy bod. Great pants overall.

I am 5'3" and 108 lbs. and I usually wear size 2 or 0. Since these were in Asian size, I ordered size "M". They fit pretty well - just a tad too long and too wide for me - with one exception. There are too many pockets where you want to look slim. Between the thigh and knee areas there are a total of 6 pockets and the stiff canvas material make these pockets stick out. I removed 4 of them and I sew the other 2 shut. Now they look okay but not perfect. If you don't have sewing skills, you may find these pants costing too much to alter and not worth the price you pay.

Just bought these so will see how they hold up. I'm 5'4 and about 108pounds. The size 00 fits but is definitely a little snug. The size 0 fits with some more wiggle room. I bought both sizes with the intent to return one but I just read a review that the shipping cost for returning these is pretty high so I may just keep both. Will update after I've worn them more. There are several pockets and the material for the black pants is quite thick.

I didn't want to believe the size chart. I'm about a 6 depending on the brand and I bought a 2XL. SUPER baggy but can still wear them with a belt. decent work pants though. I like them.

I generally wear a size 2 US and so, according to the reviews and to the manufacturer description I ordered size 4 US (L). They're huge. I can't imagine this being a slim fit for anyone as they're so baggy, I felt like I was wearing HammerPants (you know what I'm talking about). I didn't want skinny fit by any means (skinny cargo pants are the antithesis of useful), but I did want a slimmer, closer fit than you'd get with regular BDUs.

Also, if you intend to keep anything at all in the upper outer pockets, get over that real quick. Maybe pens and a pocketknife, but outside of that, no. The upper pockets seem to be actual magazine pockets. So unless you're carrying around a lot of ammo, you might not find them useful.

These pants are made quite well, the stitching is solid, and the fabric isn't flimsy. Once you've figured out what size you wear (and it looks like that might be an expensive endeavor), they're worth the buy.

The pants are well made and look exactly as advertised. The big problem is that the sizing is off, I am 117 pounds and wear a size two or a size small. When I ordered a pair of cargo pants, I wanted them to fit loose and give me plenty of room for movement, so I ordered a medium. When the medium sized cargo pants arrived, I could not fit them because they where unbearably tight. I gave the pants away to my 14 year old niece and they fit her perfectly. I really like the design and look of the pants, so I going to try buying a large next time.

This "women's" fit is so tight that it can be quite uncomfortable on the zipper area.

I wanted to like these. The pockets and look were seemingly just right however they are most definitely Asian sizes. I got the largest size they have and still, being someone who is while short at 5", not too small, these pants were making a bizarro impression of tights.

I was a little nervous on ordering these pants after reading all the reviews that this runs really small. So I decided to order two sizes up. BIG MISTAKE!! The pants are huge on me! I don't want to return them so I am just going to have to take them tailored. ( I am normally a size 4 and I ordered 8)

I was very disappointed with the delivery of my order, and will never order clothing from Amazon again. The pants were of a high quality, and I really liked them. Unfortunately, they didn't fit. There was no packing slip or return slip included. I had no paperwork to return them. I tried going online and got nowhere in terms of returning the order. Any writing on the inside of the package was either in Korean or Chinese. I ended up giving the pants away and telling the person to give them to Good Will if they didn't fit.

This experience made me very concerned about ordering anything but books and common items from Amazon. I have talked with friends about this, and some of them also have had experiences that made them frustrated. It feels as though you have become one of those discount warehouse websites when something of this nature happens. I hope that you will consider this problem and that you will take this item off your site. I have always loved Amazon, and I hope that you will address this. Thank you,.

These pants do not fit as well as I expected, I was disappointed due to being recommended to order 2 sizes bigger, which I did and they are still snug

The other reviews aren't kidding: The sizing posted in the ad is still way off with these pants. I ordered these 2 sizes larger than normal, and they were still too small!

I am returning these and don't know if I will repurchase in a larger size, as I wanted outdoor cargo pants in black with a slim leg in a durable fabric, but sadly these are very flimsy "Hot Topic" throwaway grade pants, cute for a club but useless for my purposes. I bought them to go hiking, walking, etc. and they really are a paper thin cotton, not a durable, sturdy or utilitarian fabric as I was hoping for. They also have some trendy "distressed" stitching accents that I don't like, (you can see them in the photos of the lighter colors.)

I will say that Match has good customer service, as I initially ordered these and forgot to specify shipping with Amazon, and got a one month delivery date from China. They were totally on top of things and canceled my order the same day I requested the cancellation.

It was too small, really disappointed

Super small. Try 2-3 sizes larger. Expensive to ship it back. Material is not what I expected...kind of, I dunno, plastic-y? But not in the malleable sense, more like it was made from very thin credit cards...

The vendor made good on it with a refund, but man, these are the worst quality pants I've EVER worn. The fabric was thin with NO stretch which was fine, but I bent down at work and the knees ripped out cross ways! Then, I squatted again to pick something and the WHOLE butt ripped right out. The worst part, it wasn't even along the seams! The fabric just split!

Oh well, they looked cute for a minute or 2 :)

Got these for work. Got them one size bigger than I needed seeing as how I got them for work. Lasted about a little over a month. Next thing I know, I get into my car headed to work. Pants completely split down the middle. Super embarrassing. Needless to say, worst pair of pants I've ever bought. Big waste of forty dollars

So I'm between a 2 and a 4. In some jeans I'm even a 1. So when it said buy one to two sizes up I bought ones that were labeled as 4-6 US....they were zeros....and that's before washing. They might fit my 11 year old. They were not even CLOSE to a 4 US. What's worse is they charge $15 PER PAIR for shipping from CHINA so trying to return them is going to cost me as much in shipping as the pants and I won't get my original shipping back. So $75 (2 pairs, 2 $15 shipping charges) wasted.
