"I really like these pants for the reason that I can get a 31 waist. They fit excellent and are very comfortable. Just wore them around town so far. Nice to walk in and drive in as well. Comfortable in 55 degrees and 107 as well. Will try them out in the mountains soon. Test for durability. Will be buying more soon I believe."
"nice pants, no problems in theory; but they arrived out of the box with a large rip in the pocket, rendering the pocket unusable"
"I liked em! Nice fit and material"
"I love these as casual joggers. They're very comfortable and the fit is right for me. However, I have no idea how anyone could climb in these. They are way too thick and warm for any sort of activity."
"Very nice material. Cuffs tidy and snag-free. Comfortable. All BD pants seem to be very short in the inseam - these are no exception. Maybe there's a reason for that that escapes me - not a big deal but definitely limits their utility for any non-climbing wear or activities."
"The fabric and baggy cut around the seat/groin isn’t really what I was looking for or expecting when I got these pants. Otherwise, fabric is very comfy and soft, also a great color. Will lounge around in this more than climb in it. Not very breathable so will stay in a drawer until the cold season."
"Love these climbing pants."
"Everything about the Notion Pant is excellent - great fit, mobility, pocketing. These are my go-to pants for gym climbing."
"You are saying that the inseam for size XL is 33. 5. I ordered them and Is not really not even close, they are like 30. Now i have to return. Lost trust in BD with your sizes. It happended also with Session Suede shoes where I could not understand why multiple brands fit me perfectly on size 46 and them like 1. 5 size smaller"
"Love the fit! Super comfy!"
