Wadi Rum Pant - Men's

Really wanted to like these

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Really wanted to like these pants, however the third time out wearing them while bouldering, the seam on the top of the thigh by the zipper pocket split open. The fabric is great, the cut is alright (but not as good as the OG wadi rum pants from 4-5 years ago), but I would have thought that I wouldn't have to worry about quality of stitching on these. It was only a $10 repair at my local tailor, but still a little disappointed.

wore them actually at Wadi Rum,

I've used it several times

these pants are too heavy of a cloth for the sand. fit was good but in hot weather just not the product i thought it should be. UA golf pants were lighter and better for Wadi Rum,

Solid

I saw all the reviews regarding the funky fit, but decided to pull the trigger anyway. They are certainly more snug than I'd like around the hips and thighs; however, they have loosened up after a few wears. I'm 5'11" 210lbs and bought a 36x32. I love everything else about the pants though. Durable, but not too thick. Cool pocket layout. And great color.

34's are really 33's

Terrible fit. 34's are not really 34's more like 33's in the waist.

Poor quality

I've used it several times

I wear these mostly to go work in an office and the stitching pulled out of the top of the left thigh after maybe 15 times of wearing them. Waste of money

Disappointing all around

I've put it through the wringer

Awkward fit. I'm a slim 32x32 and usually fit that size fine in everything and in my opinion these simply have a weird cut. Kind of a low crotch for how snug the legs are. The front pockets are way too shallow and they completely failed on the placement of the zippered thigh pocket. I bought these for guiding canyoneering/rock climbing trips and anything in the cargo pocket is quite uncomfortable against the leg even during a mellow approach/hike. The Prana Four Corners has been a fantastic alternative to these.

Great material, sizing could be better

Usually a 32, had to size up to 34 in these because the crotch is quite tight - wish it was a little looser fit like the rest of the pant.

Not the same

Smaller and different styling . Fabric also does not appear to be the same as earlier version from 2019.

Replacing my Arc'teryx as my everyday pant!

These have instantly become my favorite pair of pants. Use em all the time for rucking and the inner cinch (if that's the right word?) is amazing for keeping your pants up without a belt which could create chafing when combined with the hip belt on most rucks.

Didn't fit

I don't know if I have huge quads but these pants are the size that fit my waste but I couldn't fit my quads in these bad boys had a real weird fit. Had to return..
