I am a fit person with an hourglass build. The pants were VERY tight on the hips and thighs and the fabric gaped open at the waist. Horrible fit. Also, where the zipper was on the legs - it was like a steel band cutting into my thighs. As I stated, I am a medium built, in-shape woman. I purchased the pants for my trip to Ireland this summer. I returned them to the store.
