Heartbroken. I loved these pants from the moment I put them on. Travel and activity friendly but dressy enough for work. I had them about a month and only washed twice, using delicate setting, and expected they’d stand up to being worn 3-5 times per week.

The crotch just split/snagged somehow while I was riding in the car and now I have two holes in the inner thigh area that look beyond repair. I loved these, but for the cost I expected something way more durable.

I was hoping to replace some non-wool hiking pants, but was hesitant to try the mazama pant due to the high price tag and complaints about the waistband. I have a 10 trip to Iceland coming up, and decided to pull the trigger and try them.

The waistband is somewhat annoying (and the reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5), but overall does not stop me from reaching for them. The waistband gets twisted / curled primarily when I first put them on, so I spend some time straightening it out. There’s still some visual curling, but functionally it doesn’t bother me while wearing them.

The length is perfect. I would personally prefer a slightly higher rise, but it’s much better than most hiking pants. While I wish the content was a higher wool percentage, the fabric blend is definitely durable and extremely comfortable.

Overall, I’m very excited to add these to my travel capsule and hiking / camping attire.

I originally ordered a medium (as large was out of stock) and it had a nice snug fit. I returned and waited for a large to restock as I liked the style and length but wanted to take full advantage of the pockets with a looser fit.

The large is great. Fits well and wears well. A bit bulky for carry-on only travel, but that’s the trade off for all the pockets. Comfy enough to wear on the plane.

I did try a “frame ponte culotte” in washed navy as well. Those were shorter in a way that hit me awkwardly but could work for others. Sleeker style and the washed navy color was wonderful. I wish more pants styles were available in that color!

If you want some sturdy nice looking slacks I think these are great. The fabric is a little stiff but I did not find this to get in my way during the day in a health care clinic and I think this will mean these pants will hold up for a long time. I would say that, like all pants that are not made of polyester, the knees will be a little baggy by the end of the day. I like the straight leg look with the moderate tapering. The pockets are very functional.

Size inclusivity includes inseam. 27" hits me above mid calf. Need at least 34-35".
