Question 1

I'm trying to decide between size 0-R and 2-R. I’m 163 cm, 60 kg (waist 70 cm, hips 94 cm). Does this run true to size, or should I size up or down based on my measurements? What size do you recommend? Thanks for your help.

Hello Riia, the Clarkia Cotton Wide Leg Pant has a relaxed fit, so you’ll want to choose the size that gives you the most comfortable room at the waist and hip. Based on your measurements (waist 70 cm, hips 94 cm), here’s how the two sizes compare:

Size 0‑R: waist 68.0 cm / hip 98.5 cm
Size 2‑R: waist 71.0 cm / hip 101.5 cm

With a 70 cm waist, size 2‑R aligns more closely with your measurements and will give you an easier, more comfortable fit through the waist without feeling tight. If you’re unsure, you’re absolutely welcome to order both sizes, try them on at home, and return the one that doesn’t fit — we offer free returns within 30 days as long as the item is new and unworn with tags still on.

Question 2

I’m unsure whether I should choose size 2 or size 4. What are the waist, hip, and inseam measurements for these pants in sizes 2-R and 4-R? Also, what is the rise (high, mid, or low)? Thanks in advance.

Hello Rebekka, thanks for reaching out. Here are the measurements for the Clarkia Cotton Wide Leg Pant in the sizes you’re considering:

Size 2‑Regular: waist 71.0 cm, hip 101.5 cm, inseam 78.1 cm
Size 4‑Regular: waist 74.0 cm, hip 104.5 cm, inseam 78.5 cm

The front rise is 26.5 cm, which sits in the mid‑rise category — designed to sit comfortably around the natural waist without feeling high or low. If you’re between sizes, the best choice will depend on whether you prefer a more fitted waist and hip (size 2) or a bit more ease through the top block (size 4).

Question 3

Are these waterproof ?

Amelie, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hello Beth, thank you for your question. The Clarkia Cotton Wide Leg Pant is not waterproof, its cotton‑blend fabric is designed for breathability and everyday comfort, so it doesn’t provide protection against rain or wet conditions. While it’s built to move well for climbing and daily wear, the material will absorb water rather than repel it. Hope this clarifies things.

Question 4

Do any of the pickets have zippers

River, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hello, thanks for reaching out. The Clarkia Cotton Wide Leg Pant does not feature any zippered pockets. This style is designed with clean lines and a minimal aesthetic, so all pockets are open‑entry without closures.

Question 5

Last year Clarkia wide leg size 8 short was a perfect fit. This year it fits like size 6. It is 2cm less across each leg at crotch level and 2cm less on the waist. This means a volume of 4cm on each leg has been taken out…Why. Also, there is no 10 short.

Hello Lydie, thank you for sharing these fit details with us. We can confirm that the Clarkia Cotton Wide Leg Pant has not changed measurements since the 2024 season, so the sizing should be consistent with last year’s version. At the moment, we don’t offer a 10 Short in this style because availability is based on demand and production planning, and certain size–length combinations are produced in smaller quantities or not carried forward if there isn’t enough guest demand. We do offer the same pant in a Nylon version, and that style has slightly different measurements compared to the Cotton version, which may explain the differences you’re noticing. If you’d like help finding the closest fit or exploring alternatives, we’re here to support you.

Question 6

Cotton shrinks at least a little, regardless of drying method and percentage of cloth used. Is this pre-shrunk cotton or will there be a certain amount of shrinkage on the first (or first few) wash(es)?

Seymour, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hi there, thanks for reaching out. The cotton used in the Clarkia Cotton Wide Leg Pant is pre-shrunk. When the wash and care instructions are followed, you should not experience shrinkage after washing. We hope this helps!

Question 7

Are you still making the nylon version of these pants?

Seymour, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hi there, thanks for reaching out. Currently, the Clarkia line comes in the Clarkia Cotton Wide Leg Pant and the Clarkia Wide Leg Pant, which are made from a plain weave nylon. While we do not have an exact return date, stock will fluctuate as we move through the seasons. We recommend using the “Notify Me” feature, subscribing to the Arc'teryx newsletter for up-to-date information on products, or looking to authorized Arc’teryx retailers for any additional item availability. We hope this helps!

Question 8

What is the rise of these pants? Can they be worn high on the waist?

River · Accepted Answer

Hello there, thanks for your question! The front rise of these pants is 26.5 cm, which places them in the mid-rise category. That means they’ll typically sit just below or around the natural waistline, depending on your body proportions.

Question 9

Meine Taille ist 76cm und meine Hüft 99cm und ich weiß nicht welche größe mir am besten passt?

Seymour, Arc'teryx Guest Services · Accepted Answer

Hi Evii, vielen Dank für deine Anfrage! Aufgrund deiner Maße würden wir dir je nachdem, wie eng oder weit du die Hose tragen möchtest, entweder eine 6-R oder 8-R empfehlen. Die 6-R hat eine Taillenweite von 77 cm und eine Hüftweite von 107,5 cm. In der Größe 8-R hat die Hose eine Taille von 80 cm und eine Hüfte von 110,5 cm. Wenn du dir unsicher bist, bestelle beide Größen zum Anprobieren und nutze für das Modell, das dir nicht so gut passt, unseren kostenlosen Rückversand. Wir hoffen, die Info hilft dir weiter!

Question 10

do they shrink in the dryer?

Dave · Accepted Answer

Hi Mack, great question! We highly recommend following the care instructions for the Clarkia Cotton Wide Leg Pant to prevent shirking or damage, this means putting them in the dryer on low heat. Please visit our ReCARE page for more information on how to wash your gear.
