Cool as a cuke 04-10-06

terrif (1): rating

Just got back from 10 days in Belize, and the pants were the perfect thing. Worked great in the rainforest, keeping the bugs off yet staying cool, and worked great in capri length on the shore. I'm a size 6-8, and based on other reviews and product measurements, ordered a Large, which while roomy (especially in the legs) was comfy.

Great pants! 09-20-06

I originally ordered these in a size large, as I was nervous that the mediums would be too small. The large pants hung on my hips, which was comfortable, but the legs were quite voluminous. I then tried the mediums which fit perfectly (matches the size chart, but I was worried that despite that they would run small). I wore these for a safari and could easily wash the dust out at night and they’d dry by morning. I also used them on a 7-day Klimanjaro climb for the first few days. They were comfortable to hike in, even with silk weight tights underneath. I like the capri option a lot. I don’t recommend the light color (Sand) for long camping trips as the dirt was pretty ground in (it’s coming out, but there still might be some stains). I like the fit and style so much that, assuming I get the stains out, I would wear them regularly.

Outdoor Reasearch Venture Pants 09-11-06

I used these pants this weekend and was pleased with the versatility. It was a bit chilly when we started hiking but warmed up quickly. I was able to fold them up to be like shorts and stayed cool. Later, it got cool again and I dropped them right down. Even later, it started raining and they kept me fairly dry and warm. They are a bit short for the long-legged but I didn't mind that they weren't scrapping the ground for the hike. I also really enjoyed the mesh pockets.

Nice pants, but flawed. 11-16-07

Overall, these are great pants. They are very lightweight, and the attached belt provides good reinforcement. I got the teak color, and they are a very nice deep brown. My only real complaint is that the pantlegs are too straight. Without any flair or zippers at the bottom, it is awkward wearing these pants with my hiking boots. Also, the slash pockets in the back make it look as though there are no pockets, which looks a little weird.

Lightweight & Comfortable 09-19-07

Compared to other hiking pants I've owned, these are far & away the best. I can't stand heavier, more abrasive materials (even if they are more durable). These pants are incredibly lightweight, soft against the skin, and didn't snag on rocks or trees. The fit is perfect - OR designed these pants for an average woman's body (they might be a bit large in the hips & butt for someone who is very petite). I ordered a medium & typically wear a size 6.
