I trialed the pant in town and had two compliments from strangers prior to using them for backpacking Washingtons Olympia National Park. The questions were "where did you get those, I want them too". The material is smooth, shake them to un-wrinkle, roll them to pack lightly, enjoy wearing them as they are fitted, classy, and perfect for travel. Don't buy them if you don't want to show a fitted shape. The length is great with 1-2 inch sandals or hiking shoes. They sit on your hips gently and the shorts are town stylish and fall just above the knee. They are keepers.
