Side by Side Comparison of: ExOfficio

My wife loves these pants for air or car travel. We recently spent two weeks in rural China and they were perfect. They were the perfect weight and comfortable. They fit true to size. They were easy to hand wash and dried quickly. This was the second pair purchased, first was a slate color. They seem to be discontinued. Hope the replacement is as good. Only downsides are the metal snaps for the rollup legs trigger the TSA scanner. They will probably hold up better than plastic snaps in the end. No drawstring means a belt is required, but a plastic belt buckle speeds things up at security.

These were true to size for me. They felt a little snug when I put them on, but as I went throughout the day I found they were comfortable. These are a keeper.

These pants are awesome and they can latch up if you want them a little shorter. The only thing is the length is a little long so if you are short like me (5' 3) you may need to hem them. I just used the strap to hold them up on one side on each leg. That worked out. Love ExOfficial. They are the BEST. Oh and bugs. Never one bite and I was in Big Cypress and the Everglades during a mosquito break out. Never had a bite in these pants!

Pants arrived quickly. Price was great for quality. Quality of fabric, number and type of pockets, and fit were all better than expected -- though I've always had good luck w this brand. I'm 5'6" and weigh 145. The Large size and length (31 in seem) fit perfectly for travel, hiking, touring, or sitting in plane for 8 hours. Fabric feels nice though it's nylon. Haven't washed yet but expect it to be quick drying. Delighted with purchase!

These would be the perfect travel pants except for one fatal flaw (for me anyway) which I will get to. But first, to what's good, and it's not just good, but GREAT ! I have done a lot of traveling in Latin America and by now I know what is needed in travel pants. The fabric these are made of is really nice and doesn't have sheen like many nylon fabrics do. It doesn't go "swish, swish, swish..." when you walk, like many travel pants do. The range of pockets is extraordinary and includes everything you really need when you travel, including a zippered one that your passport can fit in perfectly. There is a little loop for hanging your sunglasses on. In addition to the zippered security pocket, there are 2 deep side pockets with an interesting cut to them, a small jeans-style change pocket, and a deep velcro tab hip pocket. These pants have it all. The fit, standing up, is very flattering. The size 12 was actually long enough, something that is not always the case for me as I am 5'8". Now, to what doesn't work. The low rise does not work in a travel pant. It makes the crotch way too tight when you sit down and one of the things you end up doing a lot of when you travel is sit! On boats, on planes, on buses, etc. Anything that is uncomfortable when you sit is out of the running. Additionally, the waist gapes open slight in back when you sit. These pants are so great in so many ways and I really want them, just because of how good they look on, but I have learned my lesson, so they will probably have to go back. What a shame.

I really like these pants, especially because I got them for the super price of about $16! They fit great and are so comfortable. They're lightweight, dry quickly and look pretty stylish to boot. I took them on a week-long trip into the Amazon jungle and wore them nearly every day while hiking and boating. I had to hem them as they were too long, but I have to hem most of my pants, so that wasn't a big deal. I also ordered a size 10 because I often border between an 8 and 10, but the 10 was too large.

A little baggier in style.

The fabric is thin and breezy. The slate color is more earth tone than blue tinged. The felt lined around the inside waist is very comfortable. These are good pants to travel, sight see, hike, and dine. I have to shorten the inseam (32") to make them work though.BTW, I also ordered a light khaki color in the same size. They didn't fit the same as Slate size 4. I wondered why so I checked the label on the waist band. The slate size 4 is actually a size 6, even though the hanging tag said size 4. Someone who had ordeedr these pants may have switched the hanging tag before returning them back to Amazon.

Tight across the bum.

I returned the size 6s for size 4 and they fit, but still a bit looser than I would have liked. (Note: I wasn't going for "tight!")

I really like the pants, however they are too short for me. I am 5'81/2" and they hit just under my ankle. Thought they might be long enough based on other reviews. I have trouble with pant length 80% of the time, and also with these. Going back, wish they came in Long.

Purchase pants to travel to Tanzania; hike tour etc. They were.great.. fit well and very beathable. Simple to wash and the mosquitos were not a problem. The only suggestion I had was they could have been a bit longer! !

I returned them as they do not come in a size small enough for me.

Loved the look, but I could have shared them with two friends- at the same time! Size tag was correct. I own other ExOfficio pants, so I don't know what happened. Sadly, these had to be returned.

Pants arrived with 2 big cuts on the leg... had to return.

Sizing is off (get a size up from your usual size in pants) Also no 'give' in the material.

The material was fine but a bit noisy. The legs were a bit baggy as well, I returned these for a more flattering fit

Way too big, 5'2", 120 lbs, bought a size four and could pull them out an inch and a half from my waist.

It doesn't fit right. I had to return it. I have not received any credit for it to date.

I love ex officio pants. These were quite large and baggy, very sloppy looking. The size was what I normally take in their pants. They are just cut quite large, all the way down.

Too small ,returned item

I bought these in a size 12. I am 5'10" and a pretty standard/curvy 12 - sometimes a 10. These were at least 2 sizes too small. I couldn't even button them. I'm bummed I was planning on these being great for walking trails with my dog. They will be returned this week.

did not like the cut nor the size. sorry but they were returned.

Does not fit voluptuous women

They lie below the wast but not low enough. This means they push up any bit of fat or skin that is there. They fit my stomach with room to spare but the stupid way they lay on the waist make a muffin top. Not just that but they are too short. this causes them to go up you buttcrack and give you a cameltoe in front. If wearing a long, lose s*** it's fine but not if it's form fitting.I wear a 6 or 4 I am not fat. I have actual hips, not much fat but wider hips. So many companies do not make clothes to fit people with wider hipbones. It makes me feel fat. They have no stretch what so ever which in my opinion is not good for hiking or travel. I will return it and buy some pants that do not fall on a stupid area of the waist. Dear fashion designers: Stop making clothes for girls with straight bodies. Some people have bigger bones. I am 120 pounds , 5.5. I am not fat but these pants made me feel fat and ugly. Now, i must order the next size up which will swallow me.
