Customer Reviews Columbia Plus Size Anytime Outdoor™ Boot Cut Pant

I purchased these pants in preparation for a move to France. Initially I planned on using them for walking around in the warm Summer months, but they have proven to be an excellent purchase in many situations. I work in a kitchen and they are WONDERFUL and incredibly comfortable in a hot, moist environment. They're easy to clean, they repel water and stains, they dry in a snap, and are also light weight and travel friendly. It's nice to have a pair of athletic pants that don't look like your typical gym pant. I love them so much that I'm ordering another pair today!

As a matter of fact, I loved them so much, I bought a 2nd pair about three days after I received the first one. It would be great if the pants came in a few other colors too (like brown or darker gray). They are really lightweight & have stretch. I've worn them on a several mile trail walk in 80+ degree weather and they kept me cool & dry. They don't seem to wrinkle much so they'd be great for traveling too!

Love the pants. Size was just and fit were just right. Wish the boot cut was not so wide. Way wider than what they look like on the model.

comfortable pants - extremely inadequate pockets - wear and wash well

The best pants for walking. I must have 6 of these some many years old. They are the best.

I'm going to use for work and even with small heels the pant is too long and will need to be hemmed. Would love it if they offered this in a short inseam. Because I need to hem it I'll be taking one star off for the need to hem it.

Like a lot of my Columbia hooded jackets, the drawstring you use to fasten these pants is pretty flimsy and I don't foresee it lasting very long. And unfortunately these pants don't have belt loops so a belt wouldn't work to keep pants up

I have bought these pants in the past, and I love them. The pants I ordered recently were a size too big. You need to go down a size. I hope the smaller pants are not too little.

Well-made technical pant for the money. I'm usually an 18, but based on other reviews, I went up a size. I think an 18 would have been fine. The pants are comfortable and nice looking- I bought them for casual work pants in an engineering office and they are totally acceptable. Easy care, just don't dry them too hot or too long-they get a lot of static electricity buildup. If you hang them immediately, they are nearly wrinkle-free. Bought two pair and glad I did.

These fit great and were vert nice and light weight. They offered great wearability during hiking during the day, and I was able to sleep in the tent at night with no complaints. I figured they may bunch up in my sleeping bag but they were awesome. I liked my pair so much I immediately purchased 3 more pairs.

I have had 4 pairs of the long shorts that are the same as these pants and they have been great. The shorts I found run true to size, but I find that these pants run a bit smaller than the shorts so be aware. That being said, I love these pants and the shorts. I can be on the trail or I can be in the water and not fear. They are great for traveling because they are wrinkle free after you shack them out a bit and they are also light weight. One last negative is that after about six months of wear they start to pill and not look so nice.

This product has amazing features! I love how the water just beads right up off of them. Also I can wear them to just about anything. From a hike in the woods, to a night out with friends. Just make sure you wash them according to the instructions

Did great for rainy weather in Scotland/Ireland! Easy to wear leggings underneath for added warmth. These were larger than expected, but easy to tie up with the drawstring. Just wish it had more zippered pockets so I could store stuff on a hike, like my phone.

Nice comfy pants. Perfect for travel. Wish they sold these pants in petite as I had to have them hemmed as I am 5'4".

I saw these pants at Belk department store and they only had a size 24. The size 24 (3x for similar style minus the zipper and snap button) was too loose. I asked cashier if they could search a size 22 or order it for me and they couldn't (I'm guessing this is non current style). So when I got home I found them online and ordered the size 22 which it a little snug... go figure! I ordered the pants in two colors- the army green and in black. They both fit the same so I'm guessing the little snugness isn't a defect (drinking more water now). The black looks more like a deep dark charcoal grey. I'll be keeping both and cannot wait to wear them walking in the beach and whatever other vacation activities I encounter. I had to select "how they fit" or it wouldn't allow me to post my comment so I chose runs a little small. Pros: lightweight, soft, comfortable, great style for vacation Cons: little in between sizes, color- black isn't dark it's more like really dark charcoal grey I would definitely recommend these pants and am likely to buy more.

I'm always down for a good hike. Usually you'll find me wearing jeans and a tshirt. But, not anymore. These pants are ultralight and stretchy. They passed the squat test, which I thought would be a problem with purchasing a lighter color. Glad to see a company taking on the plus size side of outdoor active clothing.

I would buy more of this product. Very comfy and lightweight. Wish it had belt loops sometimes.

I bought these for a trip to Ireland. We haven't gone yet but I think these will be great. They are lightweight and can be dressed up a little for a night out at the pub and also worn hiking during the day. There's just enough stretch for comfortable wear but not so much that they'll bag or sag. They even gave me a nice little shape in the all right places!

I chose the tan color because I wanted something light for summer hiking in the desert. I wear between a 22 and 24. I chose a 24 and they're a little loose. They have a lot of stretch so I could've sized down. They are incredibly thin and stretchy. They show everything, so choose undergarments wisely. I had to wear leggings underneath for winter walks. These will be great for hot days though. I love the bootcut! They fit comfortably over my hiking boots. I didn't notice any chafing or rubbing but I was also wearing a base layer. These are definitely warm weather pants. I'm happy with my overall purchase.

These are great pants for hiking or casual wear. My only issue is that the waistband doesn't really have any 'give' or stretch so the pants are comfy and stretchy but the waistband feels tight.

I have these pants in black and blue. I really love them. They're very comfortable and functional. However, the blue is much lighter than pictured. I wasn't expecting this. It makes it slightly less functional to me, but I still like the pants.

As a larger woman I find it difficult to find pants that fit both my hips and waist. I have an hourglass figure, but my hips and upper legs are stubbornly large. These pants are great. They fit perfectly around the waist and hips. They have a good amount of stretch to make them comfortable to wear but not clingy. I chose the size based on the size chart on the website and it turned out to be accurate (even though in other brands I would have been the size down).

I love these so much that I have ordered them in 3 additional colors. I have struggled to find plus size hiking pants and these are just amazing. Just a couple things I would improve on. The fabric is very comfortable but does not feel as durable as I would like. Also, the fabric wrinkles easily and makes it a challenge to pack on trips. But the fit and style have out weighed these issues. Thanks Columbia for offering extended sizes, I would love to see a larger selection of extended size clothing in the future.

I bought these pants for a 6 day camping / canoe trip. They were great. They were great in wind, water, and sand. Brushed and dried easily. Had a touch of stretch for comfort.

I love this fabric, I love the fit, I have 7 pairs of Anytime Outdoor shorts and wear them constantly. So I ordered the pants... but was surprised to find the "boot cut" was SOOO large. I mean, I remember bell bottoms and these are just as wide. They start to flare at about the knee and then way out to over 10" at the hem. I wanted to keep them, so I had them altered. Unfortunately, there was a straight leg version, but not in plus sizes. I wish columbia would make the straight leg version for us bigger gals.
