The Women’s En Bleiler Pants’ low rise, boot cut, and flattering yet relaxed fit are a smokin’ addition to
Oakley’s Gretchen Bleiler Signature Series. Oakley collaborated with the pro halfpipe snowboarder to help bring her hot style and eco awareness to the fans. The 100% recycled polyester shell of these snow pants still holds up to plenty of wear and wetness on the slopes—Eco Storm 10K-rated waterproofing means you can ride through flurries without getting soaked. Inner thigh vents help you keep your cool, and the belt and loose fit create a sweet fashion combo.
Bottom Line: Eco-minded, fashion-forward Bleiler Signature Series pants.
i'm loving these pants. incredibly stylish, super soft and fairly warm. they tend to run on the larger side. i'm 5'5, 140ish and initially tried the medium....waaaay too big. i swapped them out for a small which is still a little big, but do-able. making the exchange was really easy and quick.
I ordered a small based on the other reviews and they fit great. I'm normally a size 8 (29" waist, 39" hips). Love the style and comfort. The fabric is ultra soft and lightweight (feels like the windbreaker material in the days before "technical fabrics"). The sheet metal gray looks great with most shades of blue and enhances the military look. My only complaint is the noticeable "V" that forms below the zipper. I searched the Internet for a photo of these pants on a model to see if the problem is unique to me. The photo I found has the model standing in a pose that tries to minimize it, but you can tell that the pants are inclined to do this. If it weren't for the V, I would have rated the pants a 5.
I ordered a Medium and found that the pants were enormous in spite of what the sizing chart said. I exchanged for a Small and found they fit much better - they are toasty warm and the belt helps to keep the snap buttons from popping open. The Small is a good length for shorter women (I'm 5'4") and the snaps to bring the hem up when walking through the parking lot really keeps the pants from dragging on the floor. Stylish and cute - I would definitely recommend this to a friend.
