3/25 Female. Been a Vida Pro pant wearer all adult life. Men's tailoring provides deeper pockets than the female version (sexism?) and better fit for me. Although baggier, the "older" pants accommodated my long underwear when cold, and I have worn them to bits. HOWEVER, the "new improved" sizing in the same, exact size, tailored SMALLER in waist, hips; seat, shortened the "rise"; and zipping up a real pain; making access to the many pockets impossible! WHY!? The way the zipper bulges out and the tight fit make these useless for my needs and wants. I cannot imagine how any male would fit these, as there is absolutely no space in the crotch. So beware! I still recommend these pants and they have laundered, traveled, hiked well, can dress up and down; and are very sturdy for me. Suggest purchasing one or two sizes larger and trying on! The "old" ones are still my "go to" pants, and I have had to leave the new ones in the closet.
