Waas ALLIED Down Pant - Women's

Very Warm

It is super warm. Very nice for a cold winter. Although it makes me look a bit chubby, but it keeps me warm and looks cute.

Comfy Down pants

I am 5’3” and 115 pounds and I bought the xs Down pants. These are not the most flattering pants in the world due to the puffiness. But I still absolutely love them. They are light as a feather and so cosy. I’ve been wearing them at night and when an occasional neighbor sees them, I get huge compliments. They would be terrific on a backpacking trip and I will pack them for our next ski trip coming soon.

Almost perfect

I’ve been looking for a down layer to wear as a mid-layer on really cold ski days and this did the trick. The length is shorter but it works well for me as I can easily pull them up to my upper calf, without too much bunching, to accommodate my ski boots. They stay in place all day, as well, without riding up. The sizing is a little off. I originally ordered the small and it was too big in the waist and legs for the snug and comfortable fit I was looking for. I exchanged for the extra-small and am happy with how they work. I am happy with the and am looking forward to wearing them all season.

Disappointed

After reading other reviews, I decided to purchase both the women's and men's versions in similar sizes. The men's version fits better and includes a drawstring at the bottom of the pant leg. However, the women's version has a strange fit and lacks the bottom drawstring. Not sure why this design choice was made, but it seems poor.

My partner has the mens version, and the men's small fits me way better than the women's version. They both have the stretchy material on the inseam and bottom, zipper pockets and a good waist drawstring, but the mens small fit my build better. I am 5' 7" and 120 lbs, my waist is usually a size 0/2 or 25/26. The waist on this was slightly too big, and the legs were a little tight. I have a small waist and a larger hip. The women's version was also shorter, which didn't work well for me. Main complaint is that the women's does NOT have the draw string at the bottom of the pant leg like the mens, so the pants sit with a weird flare at the bottom, where as with the mens you can tailor the drawstring to your leg size. Happy that these pants have 800 fill down all the way around, besides the crotch and bottom of legs, makes it stretchy enough to move in. Almost good enough, but I returned and got the Mens small which fits perfect.

Love!

Bought these on a whim after seeing the men's version in the BC store. Had buyers remorse and figured I'd just return them because who needs a $200 pair of down pants?? Turns out, I do! I'm going to be living in these this winter. They are fantastic for cold early morning dog walks. I tried on the synthetic version and they felt like I had a trash bag on. These are soft and quiet. I'm 5'0 105lbs and the XS is loose and perfect length.
