I nix points for ... because there is no way to cinch the opening of the hem. They're bootcut and when I am walking through tick territory I'd prefer to ... closed. Also, the pockets are a problem. The front pockets aren't big enough to hold anything substantial, like a camera or cell phone safely, and the calf pockets are awkward when climbing huge rocks (I put ... phone in the button calf pocket and it got banged around a lot.

Sent ... back
I was disappointed with ... looking for something to hike in when I go to Scotland. I wanted quick drying and comfortable. I'm 5'7" tall and weigh 150 lbs. The size 12 was a little snug. I ordered 2 pair and each pair fit differently (hate that)!. The leg opening to slip the ... were like huge bell bottomed ... concerned that I would trip over ... thought that maybe the opening was so wide in order for it to accommodate a shoe. Also, ... were short - no way did ... inseam of 32" . What's worse than short bell bottomed pants???These ... just didn't work for me. Back ... went.
Disappointed
I ... trouble finding ... me, which is why I generally don't buy ... online. I've got a little more booty than other women ... size (4), so I typically find ... too tight in the butt and crotch as a result. That was the case here as well. Knowing the regular length would be too long at 32 inches, I tried the petites, ... were about an inch too short. The length might ... worked if the butt had not been so tight, which caused the ... hike up. I'll ... return ... Disappointment because ... cute ...
