I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

these pants fit me very nicely. I wear them on day hikes and I also wear them as casual pants on an active day so very versatile. easy to wash - I hang dry but not necessary. colors are great - they seem to match all my clothing

They Changed the Product

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

The Halle Pants were always my GO-TO. I bought them every time I saw them on-sale anywhere! The material was durable, rugged, and lasted for ages, while still looking crisp and clean. I bought the current version of these pants and the material has changed. It is kind of shiny, the cut fits different. In the same size I normally get, the pants are shorter. The buttons have changed, and the material pills. So the newest Halle Pants that I have, now look like the oldest. Not so happy with these changes.

Almost perfect!

I wear the Halle I to work, but they are always sagging because of the lower cut. The Halle II are a much higher rise (not crazy high, but higher than the Halle I). However, I am straight and slender, but carry my weight in the middle. These dug in just enough to give me a bit of a muffin top. They MIGHT'VE stretched out a bit and been ok, but I returned them. The rest of the pant was great though. I really liked the more normal sized pockets on the Halle II (the pockets on the Halle I are literally uselessly small). I think these would work great for ladies that have a more normal waist than I do.

Pants that fit great!

I love the Halle II pants. The size 8 fit wonderfully weight and height. I am 5'11" 135 lbs. with a 30 inch waist. I also love the cinch string on the inside of the pant that helps the waistband better fit the curve of your waist. Very well made!

These are not the same. That said, the 28" inseam short on the straight pant and the 30" inseam short on the non-straight version fit the same. I needed a size smaller than usual.

Highly Recommend

I recently purchased 3 more pairs of these pants in Sandbar, Slate Green and Moonrock to replace a previous generation's fleet of green, dark blue and khaki. These newer pants feel softer, yet seem equally as durable so far. I like the new features like the slot in back pocket for a pen- great for field work. The zipper pulls are easier to grab. The pant leg roll up buttons are only on the outside of the leg, which means there aren't nubbins rubbing against the inside of your knee. My older pairs, going on 5-6 years now, are now strictly outdoor pants for hiking, rock climbing and chopping firewood, as they're still hanging in quite well for the wear they've had. I always air dry these pants, never in the dryer, and that has lengthened their elastic lifespan. These pants are great for work, around town, physical therapy, etc. I lived in Seattle and walked everywhere in the rain and loved how they didn't get sopping wet like other pants, and they dry fairly quickly. They also breathe well during activity in warmer months, climates. They fit well, are flattering and practical for someone with a more muscular and active build like myself- stronger thighs and butt, longer legs. So grateful for being able to feel good wearing a pair of pants made for active, strong women.

These are well made, typical of Prana! I can say they fit true to size, but, it's tricky, as I have the 00/short and the length is good, waist too, but they're loose, not tight fitting on me, which is OK, but I wish they were a little more fitted. I still like them a lot, as they do fit. I like the height of the waist band, not too high or low. Cinch tie on the waist along with the buttons, which is great for slight adjustments. Overall, these are awesome, I'd get another color if we had 00/short in stock :) !

Can't Wait To Hike In These!

Never had the Halle 1 pants so I cannot compare sizing, but these fit me great! True to size for me. They don't ride up or slip down when I am walking. Lightweight and very breathable so I know I'll love them for hiking in the summer. Can't wait to use these out on the trail!

so sad

I have had maybe 14 pairs of the Halle 1, and they were the only pant I've found that fit consistently, even with the small variations in waist size - these Halle 2 pants don't fit me AT ALL, even a full size up, and I'm just so sad, will have to buy all the old ones to have in reserve for when the ones I have left fall apart.

Want to love them

I love how much prAna cares about our planet with how they source and ship their products. I was hoping I would love these pants and they are just an 'eh' for me. For my measurements I am between a 2 and 4 and the 4's were just slightly too big, and i think the 2's would be too tight. I also think a slimmer fit might be better for me as I'm not loving the semi-flared bottoms, but I am enjoying the roll-up snaps. The pockets do seem to be bigger than most woman's pants, but this seems like a no-brainer for tech pants like these. I'll be wearing these pants, but they are not my first pic from the closet, sadly
