Viv’s review:
The ExOfficio women’s Nomad roll-up pant in the petite length were the perfect travel pants for a two-month summer trip in Europe. Even with weather conditions that varied between cool and very wet, to stinking hot and incredibly humid, I found these pants versatile and one of the best travel pants I’ve ever tried. My only real complaint about these pants was that they fit quite large in the waist – and I don’t have a skinny waist. Otherwise, I found these pants to be comfortable and stylish enough to wear every day for a variety of activities – hiking, sightseeing, around town.
Pros:
- Petite length sizes
- Lightweight
- Quick dry
- Hand wash
- Multi-purpose
- Wrinkles come out while wearing them
Cons:
- Low-rise (butt crack horrors)
- Large fit in the waist
- Wrinkle easily
Bottom line:
I loved that these perfect travel pants come in petite length sizing, and that they can be worn either capri or full-length. I found I needed to wear a size larger in this style than I typically do. I won’t leave home without a pair of ExOfficio pants as part of my gear!
