I have the original bootcut pants and wear them so much that I decided to try the new design. The waistband is very comfortable and the pants fit well. They’re incredibly soft, stylish, and look great! Snuggly warm when outside and comfortable to wear inside. No other company’s fleece compares to Dakini. The quality is exceptional!
I have 2 pairs of Dakini pants: one legging, one regular bootcut (not with the wide waistband). Both pairs are a size Small and fit perfectly, so I bought the new bootcut pants with the wide waistband in a size Small. The Small was very tight, so I exchanged them for a Medium. The Medium was very tight as well, with a short crotch and tight thighs. I have not gained any weight since I bought my other Dakini pants, so I have no idea why the new pants don't fit. I won't buy a Large pair because they will be too long. I love my other Dakini pants, and now I hope that they'll never wear out. I gave 2 stars because the exchange process was very easy and my new pants arrived quickly.
