prAna Women's Brenna Pant

I have been eying these pants for years, and I wanted SO badly to be in love with them...and maybe that's why I am underwhelmed. I was disappointed in 1 aspects: durability and fit.Durability:After a single wear with no obvious abrasion and no washing, these pants developed horrible pilling in multiple spots--so badly that I returned the first pair. I ordered new ones hoping that it was an isolated product defect, but the same thing happed to the new pair after washing. I have not tried removing the pilling yet, but will have to do so for continued wear.Fit: I am 5'2" and generally wear a size 2-4 and got the size 4 brenna pant in short. The length great, and I am happy with the fitted quality of the pant legs. My issue is with the button/zipper keeper. These pants fit great in the waist and a size larger would be huge. However, the button pulls in such a way that it causes the zipper keeper to pucker and gape open. As long as your zipper is up...not a huge issue. But not very flattering, and I need to wear a belt to cover it up.They are incredibly comfortable, so if that's all you're after, then by all means pick these pants!

So I bought these and the Briann at the same time to decide which I'd prefer for an upcoming trip. I've uploaded a side by side of both those styles for you to compare.These pants are made from a comfortable fabric that has water resistant properties. They are a nice slim fit all the way down the leg and have a decent amount of stretch. I did decide to keep the Brenna over the Briann just for style purposes, but I had to ask a lot of people for their opinions because it was a close call.I took one star off because I personally prefer a higher rise and these are a solid mid-rise (as stated in the description). These are also a tiny bit lower in rise over the Briann and the seams in the knee details are noticeable while wearing them.For sizing references: I am 5'7" and 140 pounds. I wear a size 6 or 8 (depending on the amount of stretch) in Old Navy Rockstars and a 28 or 29 (again, depending on the amount of elastane in the fabric content) in Madewell skinnies. I purchased these in both a 6 and an 8. Both were wearable, but the 8's were definitely more comfortable and the ones I ended up keeping.

These pants are so versatile. They are extremely comfortable for traveling in and they're very flattering (a rare combo). At the same, they can be dressed up or down (the black ones anyway), which is helpful if you want to pack light. They seem to be stain-repellant and though they wrinkle when you throw them on the floor at the end of the way, the wrinkles somehow disappear when you put them on. Everyone should own a pair of these pants.My only complaint is that they very quickly develop those little rolled up fabric balls (don't know what they're called) on the inner thigh area, which makes them seem cheap and worn. However, since very few people are getting that close to that part of my body, it's not really a huge issue.

These are the best pants! Not only are they flattering, they are versatile. I can wear them professionally for work as well as a bbq or outdoor activity. NOTE: they run on the small side. I am usually a 10-12 but had to get a size 14 and they fit perfectly.

Love these pants. Bought the olive green first and they fit perfectly. I then ordered the gray to have two pairs and they were smaller and didn’t fit. I ordered a replacement pair to get the correct ones and they were still small. It’s a bit disappointing the sizes vary for a size 8. This shouldn’t be the case with a good quality and expensive brand. I’m a bit confused. Nonetheless the first ones are orders are awesome!!

The only thing that would make these pants better would be a high rise. But they are awesome and so flattering. I ordered an 8 and they fit true to size. they are mid rise and I have a little tummy so they cut off at a weird point but they still look good and they are super slimming and flattering on the legs. I got them for hiking but I’ll probably wear them with moto boots and a leather jacket too. Cute, and functional!

Great product However don’t recommend buying them or anything else. I will no longer be participating in a capitalistic society where the “demand for domestic infants” is more important that allowing US citizens rights to FDA approved healthcareAnd where the Supreme Court does not believe in protecting my rights because rights for women are not “steeped in US traditions”

The pants are very nice and comfortable. My husband loves them on me. I will definitely get another pair.

Very comfy. Have several pairs of these. Wear them all the time.
