I bought these to take to Costa Rica and decided to try them out on an October trip to the deserts of the southwest. They were great! They have a smooth line, convenient pockets and they are very comfortable. They dry in a snap which is great if you get wet or wash them and want to wear them soon afterwards. I also have these in capris and will be ordering more.

How do you most use this product?: traveling, hiking
These pants are snug in the thighs and in the seat. If you have a flat rear end this cut provides a very good fit without the loose fabric where your rear curves in. The stretch fabric is very comfortable. The pant leg is a straight leg with no flare apporximately the same width at the hem as the width at the thigh.
