Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I had been looking for a couple of reasonably priced, light weight hiking pants for quite a while. I wanted something with a similar look, feel and function to the high-end edc pants I have but without the triple digit price tag. After reading the reviews for these pants I was really leery about ordering them even though they seemed to be exactly what I was looking for... but I figured what the heck, returning things through Amazon is easy so I ordered a pair. In a lot of the reviews people recommend ordering at least a size larger than your actual waist size so I took that advice and ordered the correct length but two sizes larger than I normally wear. The pants came and they were just a little large in the waist, so if you like your pants to fit perfect I would recommend ordering only one waist size larger than you actually wear. I ordered a length of 32 and the length is more like a 34 but that works out fine for me because I tuck them into my boots when hiking anyway. These are really nice pants, especially for the less than $30. I'm surprised and a even a little disappointed by some of the reviews I read because they almost convinced me not to purchase them. They are light weight, breath easy and well made and they look nice too. I ordered another pair which arrived yesterday and the fitting was the same as the first pair. I love these pants and couldn't be happier with both purchases. There are two reasons I gave this review 4 stars instead of 5. The first reason is because the sizing is off, a 38 inch waist should be 38 inches, you shouldn't have to spend 45 minutes reading reviews to know you have to order a size larger than you actually wear. The second reason is the listing. The colors are odd names such as "Tusk", "Fossil", "Gravel", "Grill", etc. I had a pretty good idea what those colors were until I viewed the listings. There are three pictures for the Fossil listing and each picture shows a different colored pair of pants... and its the same with a couple of the other ones. Personally I didn't care what color pants I received (as long as they weren't hot pink or neon green) but the pictures in a listing should be accurate and a customer should know what color they are ordering. So only 4 stars for these pants.
