Limitless - Stretch Waistband High-Rise Pant : Noir

comfortable

I have owned many pairs of Shredly shorts previously which I love, so I thought it was time to venture into pants. Unfortunately I don't have the opportunity to try them on before purchasing and shipping is a bit pricey to Australia, so I just bought a pair of these and the All-Time pants (all time are my fav style of shorts) hoping one of them would be as great as the shorts. I'm still not a huge fan of this style (I find they don't sit as nicely as the all-time), but they seem to have the great stretch and durability of the all-time shorts - similar material? The tie in the waistband is helpful as they are a little loose in the waist and would otherwise slide down (I measure a size 14 and bought a size 14). The zips in the legs are handy to pull up socks and and take off knee pads, but I don't think they are high enough to put knee pads on. These pants feel a bit tighter around the thighs than the same size in the all-time.

Noir Hi Rise Pants

Thought I’d be as crazy about these pants as I am about the stretch waistband hi rise shorts (I have 4 pairs of them). I do like these but I find the fit to be a little bit snug. I wear a perfect 2 in the short, these are a 4. I also don’t care for the zipper at the ankle—wish it were an elastic band instead ( my personal preference). I’m still keeping them! I’ve worn them a few times and they’re fine!

Does the Job

I need pants for mountain biking and these work the best so I continue to buy them. However, the waist to hip/thigh ratio is pretty terrible for me. I have decently athletic thighs and hips and I have to tie off almost 5 inches at the waist to keep them from not falling down. Otherwise they work pretty well.
