From past experience with North Face pants, I'm sure that these will stand up to the job and last forever, but they are certainly not flattering if you have curves. I am 5'4", 120 and ordered a size 2. The length and waist were fine, but the pockets that slit upward bagged out. They probably would have been fine if there was a bit of velcro to keep them closed, but the shorts/pants were not flattering at all. I'm sad because I really love my other NF convertible pants. It appears, however, that the style that fits me so well has been discontinued. Good try NF, but not for me!
