Gwen Wide Leg Cargo Pants

I have been searching for the perfect, versatile travel pant. This is it. Its light weight, breathable, waistband so comfortable for long plane rides and it can be dressed up or down.

I wanted to love these pants so bad. But after ordering the medium and the large to try, I realized these pants and perhaps this brand is not meant for anyone that isn’t a size 2,skinny, and with no hips. Both sizes did not fit me as intended based on the items description and photos. Both of the sizes definitely aren’t baggy at all one me in the hips these pants are straight leg through and through on me. Unfortunately I fell for the good marketing of the photos with a skinny lean model that is not realistic for my body. Also the pockets on the pants are in a weird awkward place?? They are too far near the crotch compared to other regular hand pockets. Sooo expensive to have inconvenient pocket placements, when I out my phone in the pocket the phone is so close to my crotch.

Bought these for safari - I do multiple trips to Kenya a year - sometimes bringing large groups on tour - and always struggle to find a the right pant when it can be cool in the morning but hot during the day and when you are going from high plains to tropical beaches. These are the winner! Comfortable, versatile - wear them wide legged, cinched or rolled up a bit depending on your need. I'll be getting another pair for my next trip and telling others to do the same. Also have the bastille pant - another goodie for more serious trekking - slightly less versatile. Really glad I found Halfdays. For reference 5'3" and 122lbs ordered small but could definitely have done an xs in both - will likely stay with S for this pant because I like the oversized look but will size down on future bastille pants. Length is great.

I bought these in preparation for a trip to the Julian Alps and Dolomites this summer. They didn’t disappoint. The weather was actually quite hot (considering location), but I didn’t wish I had on shorts. I was happy to have the protection from the sun and outdoor elements on my legs. These pants are VERY comfortable (great elastic waistband). I wish they came in more colors. Although black came in handy with hiding dirt after multiple days of wear. I am 5’6” 130-135lbs, and the medium was a great fit for me.

So comfortable! Now a halfdays fan. Will be ordering more.

Very comfortable and light weight. Love the waistband
