The bottom half doesn't fit at all, but the waist does fit well and is very comfortable. Not enough pockets. Best uses for mild weather, and some winter sports.

Comments about Mountain Hardwear Illusion Pant - Women's:

After reading the reviews, I was excited to receive my new ski pants. After trying them on, I was disappointed with the overall feel, but very satisfied with the quality. I am tall, so the articulated knees hit me a little higher than I expected. If you are tall, you may want to try a different pant. Also, the side zippers were inconvenient to me and the velcro on the waist was not all that adjustable. The upside is that during a recent skiing trip, they were warm and comfortable (once I was zipped and velcroed in), and I believe them to be durable enough to be around for years to come.

Comments about Mountain Hardwear Illusion Pant - Women's:

works great for active outdoor Winter activities such as hiking, snowshoeing, cross country skiing, alpine skiing in Colorado. Need to add mid or heavy weight base layer in very cold conditions where you're not exerting yourself, e.g., alpine skiing in colder weather and riding the lifts. I had to size up to be able to add a base layer. Fits a little tight in the hips (I'm a competitive cyclist, muscular lower body)so my normal size 6 was too tight and I had to go to an 8. Great value for the price, maybe not quite as breathable as expensive high-performance gear (I didn't actually do a comparison) but who cares, the price was right!

Comments about Mountain Hardwear Illusion Pant - Women's:

These pants are replacing a pair of Mtn HardWare pants I've worn for 8 years, and they're even more wonderful than the last pair. Same great fit and durability, but now with pockets! The last pair are still going strong, but I lost 20 lbs and needed 2 sizes smaller. They are perfect over mid-weight long underwear. If you tend to get cold easily, you'll want heavyweight long underwear.
