Fantastic Snow Pants For Sunny Days

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So I have a supremely difficult time finding pants of any kind. I'm short (5'3") and pear-shaped; wide hips and a big butt. When I bump into counters or chairs, I surprise myself. If you're like me, it's a particular kind of misery. And if you're like me, when you try on a pair of pants that fit you, and don't slide down giving you saggy crotch, you want every color and maybe back ups. For me, this is that pair of snow pants. These feel great, look great, and I'm so glad I got them. They're very thin, so definitely for the warmer days. The Columbia's recommended size for me was M short, but short was unavailable. I've also been duped by the auto-size recommendations, so I bought these in both M regular and L regular. The M's were tight on my butt, but the L's were comically large. Like there was no-point-in-zipping-them-huge. I'm keeping the mediums, and will continue to dream of dropping a pound. They are a bit tight in the upper leg joint area when I sit or lift my leg up, but it's not that big of a deal. I'm not rock-climbing or doing yoga in these things. I LOVE the adjustable waist, omg, what brilliance. That may sell these alone! The length is a bit long for me, but with boots on, I don't think that will matter too much. I was surprised that the elastic around the ankles was so loose, but maybe that's how they're supposed to be to fit around boots... just seemed too loose. Overall, great pants.
