"I own several pairs of the Notion pants and love them for their comfort and waistband. This month, I ordered four more pairs and was surprised by how inconsistent the construction was. Three of the four had noticeable sewing/QC problems: one arrived with cuff stitching already coming undone, one had very wavy topstitching at the cuff, and one had obvious tension/stitch-length issues (stitches lengthen dramatically in places, and the cuffs are uneven). I’d still recommend the design, but based on this order, I wouldn’t buy sight-unseen without the ability to inspect or easily exchange."
"I sometimes have a hard time with pants. I have short legs and am curvy. These fit great. I am obsessed with the waistband."
"I love the Notion pants, they have been my favorite for years. I decided to try the SP because I couldn't tell from the website what was different from the regular style, and I love the colors. Unfortunately, the SP has a fixed waist, and I have thick thighs and a booty. The waist fit my waist, once I finally could wiggle and squeeze it past my legs. I don't have notable curves, but I am an athletic woman who can squat. If your waist is smaller than your hips, I don't recommend this style for ease of use."
"I'm afraid I am disappointed in these pants. They looked so great, had a zipper pocket for my phone that worked well with a harness, and a nice high waist for the harness. But they only lasted a year of not-so intense climbing. They felt so tough, but the cotton just isn't. I now have two holes in the back. I'm comparing them to my Arc'teryx pants that I have had for 4 years with no tears, even though their fabric seems thinner."
"Super happy with these pants. I am 5'3" and they hit right at the ankle on me. I am 130 lbs, size 6 and the small fits perfect. Not too tight in the thighs. Waistband is so nice and soft against my belly"
"I love these pants for climbing! They're the perfect weight for fall climbing in the Black Hills."
"OMG! These are my new favorite climbing pants. I seriously wish I had them in every color. The waist band is stretchy which I love because it doesn't dig into my stomach. The pants are super flattering too!"
"These stay on and stay up and allow for free movement. The fit is true to size and they look great on, and I am on the curvy side. The fabric is breathable and comfortable, even in warm weather."
"These pants are my favorite for low-key climbing! Super comfortable waistband and nice pockets, inclusive sizing, flattering length for petites. The only odd thing is the very tight stitching at the bottom of the waistband - it takes a serious shimmy to get these on and off for me, and I don't have much junk in the trunk. Once they're on they're great, though!"
"Was expecting them to be too long or short but they're pretty much perfect! I'm 5'4". Really nice material and feel sturdy."
