Great Performance Pants
I was looking for some tighter pants to go rock climbing in and just happened to find these. I'm always leery of pants that fit snug because I have a bigger butt and thighs but small waist. Actually, these are my first tight pants.
I tried these on and they fit perfectly and were very flattering and comfortable. I love that the back goes up higher because I have no desire to feel a breeze back there especially when I climbing. I climbed in these for 3 1/2 hours and at the end of the day they still fit as if I had just put them on.
Please continue making these and offering them in various colors. I would buy them all. I highly recommend these for any type of activity whether it's relaxing at home or hiking.

Flattering Fit, Versatile Pant
I LOVE these pants. Stretchy, yet not clingy or thin. Very flattering for someone with a curvy/hippy figure. The stitching on the pant legs is also flattering. The PERFECT all around, everyday pant. The fabric is lightweight and breathable but also provides a pretty good wind barrier.
They are perfect for travel - will not hold wrinkles.
There is one small zip pocket that is perfect for a phone and other small/flat items. Great for cool weather runs/walks, looks great for everyday activities and even for casual dinners.
Columbia - please keep making these, I will reorder regularly!

Runs large
I am a small-med (size 4) and ordered a size small. These pants constantly slipped down, and I had to keep hitching them up.
I do like that the length is long enough.

Nice fit, good water resistance, looks good.
I was looking for a pair of pants to use in the winter rain that didn't get as hot as hardshell rain pants can get, and that looked normal, too. These are nice pants for rain walking when it's not too cold, 45 degrees and up for me here in Oregon in the winter, and would be great for running in cold rain I think. The fit is great and they look good and sleek. The online size chart was accurate for me. The pants are very comfortable, nice and stretchy. Rain beads up nicely on the legs, and only the cuffs soak up water when I'm out walking in them. I read a review by a person who didn't like the stitching, saying it was too silvery and obvious. To me it doesn't seem that way - it's more of a light gray and is just fine. The only thing is, the fabric is very thin so there's no warmth at all to these pants. That's just fine if you're moving well and warm up, but if it's rainy and in the low 30s I'm going to wear long johns underneath for walking. I wouldn't climb Mt. Hood in them, as my son did in his Stoic softshell pants.

Women's Back Up Trail Straight Leg Pant
Very comfortable. Would like to have a similar pocket on the other side of the pant.

Nice winter pants
I bought these to replace some thinner cotton pants I had been using for walking. They are warm, but not bulky. They run a little long, but that was okay.

Great Hiking/Snowshoe/Xcountry Ski Pants
These pants seem to be waterproof which is great for the PNW as they're stretchy & not bulky. If I need more warmth I just layer over another waterproof, stretchy pant such as Columbia's Trail Twist pants which is what I did in Antartica.

Great pants for the active woman
I'm a walker in rain or shine. I needed some long pants that would shed the rain and keep me warm and dry in any kind of weather. These pants are perfect! They're comfortable and move well with my fast pace. It's difficult finding pants that don't ride so low on my hips and these pants have the new "back up" waistband that keeps them from sliding too low and fits securely on my waist. Great for an active person.

exactly what I was looking for
These are great! I was looking for comfortable/warm pants for fall hiking. They're perfect! They keep my legs just the right temp when it's a little chilly. They're perfect for the cool fall weather. They fit just right and are really stretchy and comfortable!

awkward
I really wanted to like these pants. They fit well and would keep things covered when you're active, but the stitching really turned me off. The seams are in silver thread that stands out a lot across the middle of your butt and down the middle of the leg. It just looks weird.
