Very small
Based on the reviews, I ordered a size up in these and they still fit very tight. I strongly recommend ordering two sizes up. They are very warm, they feel great next to your skin and the fabric seems to repel water rather nicely. The design deserves 5 stars but the small cut forced me to give the overall product 4 stars.

Ugh!
Really, two sizes too small?! Who are these pants made for stick people? I'm a no shape six and the 8 barely fit over my thighs. There are no 10's left and I've never worn a 10 in my life. Anyway, I can imagine the waist will be super big and there's no belt to cinch the material together. In other Columbia pants I wore an 8, shouldn't the sizing within the same company at least be consistent? I really wanted to love these pants.

Too Small
I love the look and the feel of the pants, but I could not even wear them outside because they were too small. I even read other reviews and went with a size bigger and they were still too small. I can't even exchange them because they are unavailable in a size 6 :(

Too Big
The pants were bigger than expected. After reading the reviews I thought they would fit. Sent them back.

Another pair of Columbia pants to love!
They fit my body type great, although I agree with previous reviews that they are a bit on the tight side, so order a size or two up if you would like to wear a first layer. The inside of the fabric is very soft and comfy, and they have been warm enough for me in around 30 degree weather.
The only improvement on these pants would be an extra zippered pocket further down on the leg.

Great pant,bad sizing
The fit is great if you go up a size or two because the sizes are inconsistent. However once you overcome that they are a great pant for winter paddle (platform tennis), snowshoeing, XC skiing and more. Let it snow!

Great snow pant
Great pants for shedding snow, I wear them snowshoeing, and all the snow my shoes kick up on my behind, slides right off. I'm not sure they keep me THAT much warmer but they fit good and I REALLY like the way they fit higher in the back. And the fact they aren't real low fitting pants. I did order a size 12. In other pants I wear from a 8 -10. Reading the reviews where they ran small, the 12's were perfect. And the length, surprisingly, was good for me. I have a long inseam and was afraid these would be too short- they aren't. I'm also happy they are a straight leg, I have another brand and the legs remind me of bell bottoms from the 70's. May have to buy another pair........

Fits way to small!
This appears to be a nice warm product....but going up one size wasn't enough for me. I don't want spandex pants so I am returning for yet a bigger size. Hopefully that will work!

Fits only Barbie
I'm 5'3" and 103 lbs -- hardly a large person. The cut of these pants was super tight in the waist, hips, and butt, with the cuffs dragging on the floor. They are designed for someone about 5" taller, but 15 lbs lighter -- proportions for a Barbie doll, not a human. The fabric of the pants looks terrific, and I think that if I could actually wear them, I'd love them. But for now it's back to the drawing board on the sizing.

Flattering fit, but order at least one size larger!
These pants are fantastic. They are not heavy, like a ski pant, they are not at all bulky. I am using them when I caddy for my son's winter golf league and they hold up in the cold, wet conditions of northern California. They are not noisy pants when you walk. You can wear regular shoes with them and it looks normal. The pant cuff does tie from the inside to keep the cold and wet out. Flattering fit! However, they do run at least a size smaller than you would expect so order a size up.

They're OK...
I returned these- I think even if they hadn't been too small I would have returned them because they make that loud swish sound when you walk. I read reviews that said to get a size bigger because they run small. The size chart placed me at a 6, so I ordered an 8. Too small! I think I would've exchanged them if they weren't so loud. They were very warm and I may have just been irritated about the sound because I was miffed about the fit. who knows. Get these pants in at least 1 size bigger that you think you need, maybe you'll love them.

sizing
The Omni Heat in a typically stretchy fabric redues the give. I was greatful I went up a size.

Very Small
I ordered these pants one size larger and they were still too small :(. I really like the weight of the fabric so I am just making an exchange, but you may want to consider going up a size or two.

Way too small
I just received these today, since I ordered them online.
I thought they were mismarked because I usually wear a size 14 but they fit like a 10! Then I read the other reviews which said they ran way too small also. Otherwise I would love to be able to wear them to stay warm while playing golf. I like the quality and the style. Just know to order one to two sizes up.

Perfect for cold weather
Usually wear extra small and I did not have the sizing problems others had. Very comfortable while playing cold weather golf and I'm sure will be great for all activities.

Great pant
These are a great design - concept, warmth and the streamlined look fit with modern pant styles. They just run a bit small - I am an XS in other Columbia pants, but needed a "S" in these. And that is NOT wearing any tights under them.

Very warm, easy to move around in
These pants perform great and really keep me warm. The only drawback is that they seem a tad snug through the butt, and wearing layers beneath give a "lumpy" appearance. You may want to go a size up to allow for baselayers.

Way too small
Sadly I had to return these pants because they were too snug. I'm 5'5, 120, with a 25in waist and 35in hip. I ordered the 2, which according to the size chart would fit perfectly. No such luck. I was able to get them on, but there is no way I could wear them. The hip and butt felt like they would bust out with any slight bend. I really liked the cut and material, but the sizing was way off.

Very small fit
Ordered these pants on line in size 8 but it fits more like size 6! The legs fit perfectly but not in the waist so I'm worried that a larger size would then be too large in the legs. Other than that they look great, but I'll be returning mine.

Sums up the product
I bought this product in a size 10 which normally fits a bit loose in Columbia products so I could wear layers. When I got them I measured them against some size 8 and 10s that I have and they measured considerably smaller than both. I can get them on but they are not as comfortable as I would like. I am very disappointed in the sizing. I did like the material and design. They would have worked great for snowshoeing if they had fit better. They are warm if you are moving but if you are sitting at a game they are not that warm.
