Usually, I don't like pants that hug my ankles, but I bought these ones loose enough so that I didn't really notice the tighter ankles and so they would fit over my wider hips (even though I had to sacrifice now having a longer inseam, which was fine for my 5'5 self). I could have probably bought a size smaller, but, regardless, the pants are very comfortable!They are thick without being too hot, and on the one occasion I wore them outside to lie in the rain, the water didn't immediately soak through them even when I sat on the wet ground. Maybe if the rain had been harder, it would have soaked through quicker, but look man, I'm just trying to write the best review I can, and no wet butt is a big plus for me.Overall, 10/10, good pants, would buy again, keeps out rain pretty well.
