EXACTLY what I was looking for
The Backstory: Once upon a time, I found the perfect pair of sweats (they were not these). This was 6 years ago. I bought 3 pairs of them when I realized how much I liked them because I knew someday, inevitably, I’d run out. Those sweats have been unavailable on amazon for approximately 5.5 years and I have never been able to find them again. I’ve checked intermittently, hoping that they’d be there again because once I find something I like, I stick to them and try to just keep buying the same thing as long as the quality remains the same. About 3 months ago after multiple holes started appearing in the crotch and the legs began to fray on all of them, I knew I’d have to find another pair of pants.The Search: I started passively searching around 3 months ago. I’m a med student so I don’t have an abundance of time or money, so passive searching is me looking on amazon in the middle of a long shift or as I’m falling asleep in bed avoiding my responsibilities. These actually caught my eye pretty early on because I have two sets of legging shorts with pockets from Baleaf that I really like, and I thought that maybe these would be good too, but $37 was a little much for me to just spring on right away without proving to myself that I had no other options. Some other things caught my eye, but I kept coming back to these because they checked a lot of boxes for me (reviews talked about them as comfortable, they looked like they’d be light, they had adequate (and zipping!) pockets, reviews said they were soft, they had jogger bottoms so I wouldn’t have the fraying ends problem again from stepping on them, and less importantly but still relevantly they had kind of the profile I was passively looking for). I decided to get a pair just to try it out, trusting that if I hated them or even if they didn’t live up to my standards, I could just return them.The Verdict: I LOVE these pants. LOVE. I think it’s too soon to say whether or not I love them as much as my old sweats, but they are already way up there and set to surpass the others if they last even half as long. They are light, deceptively stretchy material, quick drying, and have more than adequate pockets. They’re extremely comfortable, look great, and fit well. I really appreciated reviews with pictures and sizes when I was making my decision, so here’s mine: I’m 5’8 and what I would describe as a muscular 168lbs. At this size, I bought large to be safe, and I got the 25.5″ legs, but I think I could have gotten a medium too and been fine and I just might still in the future since I’ve lost 20lbs in the last 2.5 months and plan to lose about 5-10 more in the next month. The legs are short, but I like that for running honestly (ran 5.5 miles in them this morning they were more comfortable than my normal shorts even, and not too hot at all). I’m definitely going to buy more (and already have). I also took them hiking yesterday with my dogs and they dried extremely quickly after my Great Pyrenees and German Shepherd tromped through the river and then immediately shook themselves off on me haha. I have no real cons to them, though I’ll update if they break down quickly! Til then, I’ll be ordering more and wearing them literally every day I can get away with it lol.Message for Baleaf: PLEASE don’t take these off the market, I don’t wanna go searching again for another perfect pair of pants LOL

Comfortable and flattering
Purchased a navy and black pair for an early spring trip to Disney World. The fabric is soft and the high waist is flattering. It has a lot of pockets so I was able to carry my phone and other miscellaneous items comfortably in the theme parks. I’ve washed them twice (and air dried) since purchasing and the colors have not faded and the fabric has remained soft and has kept its shape. They do come out wrinkled after washing but it’s not really noticeable once you’ve had them on for a bit. I’m 5’2 and the length is perfect. They are lightweight but not meant for 90+ degree weather. I was comfortable wearing these pants until the temperature hit 90F in the early afternoon. Once it got that hot, the pants felt slightly suffocating. I usually teeter between sizes medium and large and I opted to buy the medium. The medium was form fitting so if you like a roomier fit maybe size up. Overall, they were a good purchase and will probably put them into my fall and spring rotation.

I LOVE THESE PANTS! I do a lot of hiking, and usually I am in shorts because I can never find pants I like. These are so soft and stretchy, they moved with me in every direction and there was no restricting parts.Took these on a 5 days hike on the West Coast Trail, and they held up perfectly. Through the mud, sand, branches, thistles, bouldering, slips & falls, sap. They took it all without even as much as a snag. The zippers seem very durable, and the pockets are a good size (held my phone with plenty of room to adjust it out of the way). I wore them in the sun & heat but also in the cloud and mist, they kept me protected from the sun and cool even in the +28C weather, and then dried very quick never feeling wet in the mist and water.The waist band is nice and high rise, with the tie below the stomach so to not dig in. I will say the band is a softer different material, and does take a little longer to dry, but honestly nothing I noticed for more then 15 minutes, and only got really sweaty right where my pack hip belt sat.I will definitely be getting these in all the colours, and I hope they come out with more colours!

Me gustó mucho, es un pantalón ligero, fresco y de secado rápido. Lo compré para hacer actividades en exterior.
