Women’s Silver Ridge™ Pant 2.4 5 9 9
Huge pants I would have really liked these pants, but returned them because they were too big! I bought size 2 and I am 5'6" and 102 lbs. The pants were huge on me in every way. Based on other customer reviews saying that the pants were very much undersized, I was confident that they would actually fit me, but unfortunately they did not. They seemed like good hiking pants. I'll have to try another store to find something small enough for me. April 22, 2013
Not what I expected I went specifically to the store to buy a pair of Columbia pants for fishing and casual outdoor wear. I had high hopes—I loved the lightweight material, the length and modern fit. I grabbed a size 4 which I normally wear and a size 6. I tried both on—the 4 didn't make it up my legs, the 6 buttoned, barely. I'm not a thick person by no means or hippy for that matter. So I grabbed a size 8 and a 10. The 8 was still too small as it pulled across the hip (at the bend of you hip/leg where your legs meet your torso). I wasn't about to buy those, I could see myself busting a seam. I tried the size 10, it was too loose, a big difference from the 8 to 10 size! The crotch hung too far down and the waist was about 2+ inches too big and the pants lost that "modern" look—very baggy/loose leg like the neighbors moved out!Columbia, you need to go back to the drawing board on the design—your target customer are "active" outdoorswomen, so add a few inches in the current pants pattern in the thigh/hip area. NO WOMAN wants to buy pants that are a few sizes larger just to have a lightweight pair of pants. March 19, 2013
Functional but lacking in quality fit I agree with other reviews- this product does run small and long. I am 5'6, a size 10. I typically wear size 10/M Columbia bottoms with a regular inseam and S/M tops, depending on the style.I have managed to make these work by keeping the zippers slightly ajar at the bottom, but they are still a little long for me and hard to hem with the zipper/draw cord. Also a little tight in the bum and thighs.These would be great for a woman with a straight figure- not a lot of curves and long legs.Not a terrible purchase, but not my favorite Columbia pant.

weird sizing Although I love most Columbia products, I have a very hard time getting a good fit on pants. This pair, the legs are plenty long and big enough for my legs, but the waist band is about 2 sizes too small.Nice lightweight fabric would be great for travel pants October 21, 2012
straight legged and straight hipped If you have curves this product is not for you. Also, Columbia, a 34" inseam isn't very long when paired with hiking boots. I returned them. For all of Columbia's outdoor research perhaps they didn't notice things grow wider when they grow taller. Columbia makes great products, please learn more about making tall sizes for women. You have competitors who understand this. August 30, 2012
Not a good fit Now I know why this pant was cheaper than the others -- the fit was very poor. The seat and thigh area were way too tight (and I bought a bigger size than I would wear in regular pants). Since people who buy from Columbia are more apt to bike, etc., and have muscular legs, I'm not sure who the target customer is. I had to return them the same day I received them in the mail.

Design was changed from previous years I was disappointed when I got my new pants in the mail. I have worn Silver Ridge pants before and loved them. So I ordered the same size to replace the old pair and they do not fit the same way. They are not nearly as comfortable so I returned them. February 28, 2012
Very lightweight These pants are great for travelling in the summer months. They are very ligtweight and pack well. I like the light color (Fossil) also. These pants run about 2 sizes too small. I wear a size 8 in regular women's clothing and had to return - I ordered a size 12. February 20, 2012
Tight around the legs I bought these pants for hiking and working outside. These fit like leggings and the material is very, very thin. February 1, 2012
