Awesome, attractive hiking / travel pants!
I'm 5'2", 118 lbs, and a size 2 (also my size in the prAna Sage pants, except I normally wear a Short inseam) fits like a glove. The inseam is a bit long on me, but I can cuff it or just leave it bunched a bit at the ankle and get a bit more protection from sun and bugs.The stretch is great for my thighs, which are a bit large on my frame. My one complaint is that the waistband is tiny and does not stretch much, so it is a bit of a challenge to pull on over my (also slightly large) hips. I've heard from several people that these pants stretch out*, however. They honestly just look awesome -- I bought them for hiking and travel, but I really wouldn't have a problem wearing them to a bar.The cargo pockets are annoying to open and close due to the covered buttons, but they look nice, fit my phone and passport, and don't catch on anything I brush past. The hand pockets are very shallow, which is the biggest weak point of these pants.*EDIT 4/27/16: After wearing these on a week-long vacation and washing/line drying, they have definitely loosened up a bit and are now perfect. +1 star.FWIW, I didn't wash these throughout that trip, but they smelled and felt clean the entire time. I did get some mud up on the legs, but it came out without any effort on my part in a regular wash cycle. I really hope these stay in production, but I will be buying another pair in Khaki just in case!

All around PraNa fit style review, PHEW! Love this brand!
I recently ordered like 8 pairs of PraNa women's hiking pants for comparisons on styles and sizes and I'm probably even more confused HA! Since PraNa has so many different styles and fits I'm going to include my review of the 4 styles I have so you can compare if you already have one style.So, I'll start with my measurements I am a 5'10, 150lbs, 34B, pear shape, large booty/thighs, normally a 27/28 (6-9)tall pant gal and seriously each style/size/color fits SO differently.In the MEME pants I found that both the 6 & 8 (inseam measured while wearing was 31") fit great (PraNa true fit said I should order size 6). BUT when hiking in the size 8 I felt super restricted and I found the MEME pants didn't have as much give or stretch as the HALLE pants when climbing or taking larger steps on the trail. The crotch was longer too and I kept pulling them up so my crotch wasn't sagging down, loosened a little throughout my hike. Style wise these are super cute, and I loved how the skinny pant wore with my hiking boots. Cargo pockets fit tissues nicely-that's about all, I used the back pocket for my iPhone 6+. No drawstring inside. [I kept both the size 6 coal & 8 cargo green]In the BRENNA pants I found them to be WAY too short for me (I typically like a 33" inseam, but can handle a 31" if I really like the pants), the size 6 measured while wearing was 29" inseam and I felt had the best fit for me; the size 8 was 30" inseam and had a little looser of a fit. Super cute, but just too short for a tall girl like me. The "knee detail" was super cute and the material was a lot thicker and closer to a colored denim- not as much stretch as the HALLE or BRIANN pants. No drawstring inside. [I sent both cargo green back]In the BRIANN pants I found the more comfortable size to be 6 (tall, I think the inseam was 32"). I was, in error, sent an 8 (short) and found them to obviously be way too short (28" inseam) and the crotch hung down way too low. The BRIANN size 6 tall were probably my favorite skinny pant of the 3 styles, which I wasn't expecting! They have a good amount of give when walking, but don't sag down when you have the proper size. No drawstring inside. [l kept the 6T coal and sent back the 8S moonrock]In the HALLE I can wear an 8 & 10 (tall) comfortably-but when hiking is where you really tell the difference in the styles and sizes; the size 10 definitely started loosening throughout my hikes. The tall inseam is seriously 36" and a little too long, but I didn't hem them-with my hiking boots they don't drag. I prefer the size 8, but the drawstrings inside helped when the size 10 started loosening throughout my 15 mile hike. The one front pocket fit tissues nicely-that's about all, I used the back pocket for my iPhone 6+. These are my overall favorite pants of the 4 styles, the size 8 is my new go-to. I recently ordered them in a size 6 to see how they fit-will update when I receive them. Drawstring inside. [I kept 10T dark khaki, 8T coal, and just ordered raisin 6T.]

Too tight on the thighs
I loved these pants and really really REALLY wanted them to work. They are so cute and the material is so comfy. Its perfect for moist and humid hiking in Costa Rica or Hawaii. Alas, they did not work for me. I put them on and walked around the house talking about how perfect they were. After about ten minutes I noticed that I was pulling them up every ten seconds. I have larger athletic thighs with a average sized butt, and a smaller waist. I liked that the waist was roomy (no muffin top and room to stretch when you sit down) however the thighs are so tight a that as they stretch out, they were unable to stay put on my hips because the lower section was too fitted.Had to return. I can't hike around pulling up my pants every five seconds. The could have worked with a belt but they sit so low that I would have had instant muffin top and I also hate belts. I find them very uncomfortable.for reference: I am 5'8 135 lbs athletic build and I ordered a 4. A size up would be too big in the waistThis would be perfect for a women who was around 5'5-5'7 with skinny thighs. like if you have thigh gap, these are for you

Too expensive for sizes bigger than 10
I originally bought the olive/green color in size 10 but it was too small. I wanted to exchange for a 12, but Amazon charges twice as much for the next size up. Good pants but not worth that.I decided to exchange for a 12 in burgundy because it was the lowest price in my size. I'm not sure how I feel about the burgundy color on me. May end up returning. I found the Quartz color at REI for way less than Amazon so I purchased those (pictured as well).I'm about 175 pounds right now. I'm 5 foot 6. I have a smaller waist, big hips/butt and thighs. (I wear a 31/12 in Levi's 721/512) The pants fit pretty well everywhere except for the waist. The waist could be a little bit smaller but I can still get away with no belt. Also, if the rise was maybe an inch higher I would be super happy. Over all not bad, I have just gotten used to high rise pants.As to the water resistance, I live in Oregon and it is constantly raining. I feel like they dry fairly quick but don't expect them to repel the water.

Great pant! Do size down.
I'm 5'4" 117lbs and the size 2 fits perfectly in the waist and hips. They are a bit long on me but look great cuffed. They rise midway and seem like they'll stay in place very nicely with any activity. I'd recommend putting a passport or something you don't want to loose in the side cargo pockets since the closure is very secure. I plan to take these on a trip to a rainy climate next month so we'll see how they hold up.
