Norvan Insulated Pant Women's

I wanted a cool/cold weather pant for my planned winter training and tried these in-store. I wasn't 100% convinced at the time, they are very comfortable and remind me of wearing an Atom for your legs but after having the hybrid version I was skeptical on the fit and how they would move...cue changing room lunges and squats and they seemed OK! I pulled the plug and purchased them, and in real life situational use I am super HAPPY. I've worn these on the mountain bike, for a run and a walk and they were great for all. The extra room in the thigh is perfect for freedom of movement and I honestly forget I'm wearing pants. They may not look super flattering due to the excess fabric (when stationary) but they are designed for movement and here they succeed. As others have noted they do come a little short on the leg but I don't mind this as they don't feel restrictive or rub and I can wear longer socks to keep the ankles warm. Also I did notice that the stitching on the inner thigh could be felt and I was worried this could chafe/cause irritation but it doesn't and I stop noticing it when moving for a longer period. Also wanted to note, the back pocket I haven't used for anything apart from tissues but there is a small pocket on the left inner leg that could house a key and be more secure. My one concern is the fabric does seem delicate so time will tell on durability. I'm 5'7, approx 130lbs and the cut falls just above the ankle (purchased a size 6). Pairs well underneath the beta pant (waterproofs). Pro's: Insulation is warm, comfy and cozy (pillow like comfort) Con's: a little short on the leg,

Thoroughly impractical because there are no usable pockets! There is one side internal pocket that you cannot reach into without being unseemly in public and there is a rear internal pocket that cannot be reached at all without undressing! I am petite and these pants are a little short on me so I think they are too short for most women.
