Description of Patagonia Serenity Tights - Women's:
The Patagonia Women's Serenity Tight stretches to allow for a range of motion a yogi would envy. Breathable organic cotton in these Patagonia pants keeps you cool at the crag, and spandex allows for that heel hook. With a waist that rolls up to accommodate a harness or down for comfort while bouldering, this tight is equipped to handle whatever challenge you choose to take on. The shaped waist and slight flare at hem add to the Serenity's alluring qualities.
Like other reviewers, I own multiple pairs in multiple colors. These are the best pants ever. Not only are they super comfy, but they have are very slimming. I wear them for climbing, yoga, and biking (the legs stay put when rolled up). I'd say it's true to Patagonia sizing -- i.e., slightly large. I'm a size 4 and can wear either S for moderate/slightly loose fit, or XS for a more snug fit. The pant sizing is very much like Prana, except the inseams aren't so short.
Not only are these pants extremely comfortable but they also are easy to dress up or down. It is hard to find sweatpants that dont make you look frumpy and super casual. The fit is also pretty good on me because of the thick waistband that I can leave unrolled for more length (I have a 36 inch inseam).
I love the fabric and fit of these pants. They move perfectly with me, whether I'm relaxing or doing dhanurasana. I love that I can roll the waistband down, or wear it up, because I'm not a huge fan of showing my belly, but the folded waistband helps to camouflage underwear lines.
I have them in northern light, but I'll probably pick up a few of the others, as well.
