Pros: These pants incorporate really thoughtful design and the material is light, airy, and definitely repels stains. There are multiple pockets but the chino, worn even without travelling, would be suitable for work. Cons: however - and this is why it is attracting a 3-star rating - the sizing has been designed for the smallest waist in that category. I ordered a M, which I am consistently across UK, Australian and US sizing. It 'just' fits. The waist squeezes in though and digs into my skin when I sit down. Because the M, given the elasticised waist, needs to fit the smallest person in the M category. I'm likely in the upper M range and while I can wear it, it's terribly uncomfortable and I would not wear it for long journeys. I really want to love these pants because everything else - design element, material, stitching work - is fantastic. Perhaps you might say I need to lose weight? That might be the case or at least, size up. :) So my advice - size up one category. I feel like it's such a waste of my $165 Aussie bucks though! Returning it would cost too much.
