I packed 3 pairs of pants for a 23 day trek in Nepal which included these, the Dynama ankle version, and another very light weight pair from another brand. I used these and the ankle version when the weather started to get a little cooler. As for fit, I am a standard Medium (8) in outdoor gear and these were too. I loved the Dynamas initially for how they stretched, the tie on the bottom, and the rise for the waist. Otherwise, the waist band drove me crazy as it would not stay put and slid down constantly in the front and rear. The very thin piece of elastic at the top is not strong enough to hold them up. I was forced to rely on the flimsy non-stretch tie in the middle of the waistband to cinch them down which was annoying and not very comfortable. Also, the wash instructions are to "machine wash cold gentle". That just does not get these or any other outdoor pants clean! But the Dynamas don't look the same after the first washing and probably are not durable longer term. Want to love them but disappointed.
