measure women's pants

Hip/Seat:

Measure the fullest point between your natural waist and crotch.

Natural Waist:

Bend side to side and find the natural bend in your body; this is your natural waist. Note: It may not be the smallest point.

Inseam:

Measure from your crotch down to the desired length on body. You may also measure pants that you currently own and like. Lay the garment flat and smooth out. Measure on the front from the crotch point along the seam to the hem for the inseam length.

Sun defender pants!!!!
I have a pair of these pants! they ate fantastic to wear at my job, very comfortable! only issue is have is the zipper is not as tough as should be ! it does not always function as it should!!! I did have issues with staining while they were getting splashed on by dirty water but it all washed out in the washing machine

The perfect pants
I love these pants! Very hard to find a lightweight pant with a zipper AND a draw cord to tie it perfectly to stay up. Trying to get pants to fit perfectly without using a belt is difficult to do. Carhartt has done this with these! They need more colors and styles of this including shorts! Maybe even try different materials too as these might be a tad chilly when it gets cold, but the thicker pants don't fit as nice. So again, a warmer still thin material with a little flex and the zipper with a drawstring! Yes! Please!
