Waist size is accurate but pants are very slim fit. Nice for windy conditions, but the length could be a little longer, or the option of a long 34 in length would be helpful. Good stitching, appears to be resisting pilling when laundering. If you are a slimmer build, this might be the pant for you. Packs up very small as well.

I wear several generations of these pants, not yet retiring any. I wear them daily, year round (with long underwear in winter) for casual wear, working outside and camping /hiking. They are comfortable with room to move and additional stretch, durable and dry quickly. My oldest pair have a definite outdoor attributes. while now they are fundamentally pants with generous zippered pockets. My newest pair adds in a waist cinching feature. Very good value for the cost.

These pants check all the boxes. Fit is perfect, 36 short is the perfect length. 15% spandex provides great stretch and still blocks most of the wind. Also appreciate the number of zipper d pockets. Only recommendation would be to include zipper pulls on all pockets. These pants would be great for any outdoor activity and are stretchy enough to accommodate thin long underwater on colder days.
The pants are well made with stretchy durable fabric. I can use them for everything from running to hiking and climbing etc. I'd give them a 10 but the waist is a little loose the rest of the fit is perfect.
Great year-round trousers, these layer well. The seat does not sag as is typical with trousers made of similar fabrics. They launder,dry quickly,travel and store well. The belt loops make these practical for travel;trail to lunch or dinner and back to trail if circumstances call for same. Great for any level of experience.

The pants are well made and fit me perfectly. I look forward to wearing them on my next adventure to the Galapagos Islands.
I've used these for both climbing and hiking/backpacking and they have performed great in both aspects. After scraping against rock or hiking over deadfall there are no tears or holes and have held up great. They are thin and let wind/cold through, but that is expected for a pair this lightweight.
Love these pants. Great for sun protection on summer days, and the perfect weight for shoulder-season as well - have hiked in them on cool mornings (45F/7C) as well as while working hard up hills on warmer days (62F/17C) and they felt great - super breathable, ultralight, really stretchy and comfortable.

I think the first thing that stands out about these pants is how slim/modern fashion fit they are. I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing but just important to know. I am 6' 0" 165lbs with athletic build, moderate size runners legs (not elite marathon legs thin and not squat guru tree trunks either) and they are very form fitting. I wear a 32 in most all pants and these fit well, the material will stretch but just fits right over my lower leg and thigh and butt but not necessarily utilizing the stretch, if that makes sense. While the material is thin and shear feeling I actually think it might be surprisingly durable if used for some climbing or scrambling, but I haven't put it to that use yet, but I think while they are form fitting the stretch would allow quite a bit of mobility. Anyway, for now they have served well as a well made, nice color choices, functional pant that looks pretty stylish. I'm enjoying them but they not might be right for everyone.
Firs the bad, not great with water but also not terrible. Otherwise I've done some hikes in them and they're really comfy all the way through.
So far they're great! The fit is very "athletic" in the thighs so you may want to up a size. I am 6'4 and 220 pounds and the long version is plenty on inseam length. The only reason I wouldn't give this a higher score is because the pockets are made of a thinner mesh that I could see tearing is a short period of use and they would be difficult to repair. Aside from that they're great!
Great lightweight pants, perfect for warm-weather hiking. No DWR, but they wick well and dry very quickly. After a full long weekend of car camping and hiking, they appeared nearly as fresh as if they'd just been washed. A size 34 (normal length) fits my 6'3", 185 lb frame perfectly.
The Runbold Pants by Mammut are an exceptionally well designed and crafted product. I have used these pants for multiple day hikes, paragliding, and everyday wear. Many little details in these pants including zippers for every pocket, velcro adjustable waist band, and the lack of a snap button makes up the pros I have found with these pants. Initially I was not a fan of how thin these pants were. However, I have now seen the strength of the material, and have changed my opinion on this. I would recommend these pants for all summer, spring, and early fall activities.
It would have been 10/10 but the two side pockets get bunched up occasionally while wearing.
I use these (and the light version) for just about everything outdoors - hiking, rock climbing, mountaineering, fly fishing... They've been awesome across the board. They're durable and very breathable, with a great amount of stretch. I'm 6'5" and have a REALLY hard time finding outdoor oriented pants that are long enough. The long size in these pants fit great with the added length!
