Customer Reviews Outdoor Research Voodoo Pants

Great pants so far. Bought on a recommendation of a friend/coworker, so far very happy with them. Light weight, fits well, water resistant so great for the "wet" coast. Only had for a few weeks but so very happy with them thus far, my go to pants for everyday wear.

Brilliant pant, its been used for less formal business meetings, trekking some and winter (with thermals), working around home, and under motorcycle pants. Reasonably windproof and dries fast when it gets wet and doesn't seem to take up body odours too easily. Easy too take care of and durable.

Pants feel great, great that they are more of a tailored fit

Hands-down this is the best pearl climbing pants that out to research is ever put in production. The one downside is if you're a taller guy there is no option for 34 inch inseam not sure why

I have recently purchased my second pair of these pants. I primarily use these for everyday use but the are an awesome trail hiking pant. I recently used them canyoneering in Zion and even after rubbing up against the rocks they show no signs of wear. I definitely recommend these pants. My only complaint would be the front pockets are not deep enough and the 32" inseam just barely fit me. I'm 6'2 so if you are any taller then these pants might not work for you. OR needs to make these in a "tall" version.

Great pants for hiking and casual wear. They are very durable and comfortable.

Great pant for outdoor adventurers.

These Voodoo pants are the best. Strechy, breathable and durable. I wear these pants all the time. They can be worn in summer when pants are needed and you wont heat up too much. They are not super thick, though great in the winter with some tights underneath. Recently wore with a jacket to a wedding. Much more comfortable than traditional "dress pants". Highly recommend.

Awesome pants. I picked these up for field work and backpacking. They've handled super well and I prefer them to my Prana pants (I wear 34x32 in both OR and Prana). At 6'0" and 200lbs these fit perfectly. A bit snug on the rear but with some wear they ended up fitting perfectly and holding up in the spring, summer, fall elements of MI.

Great pants. The synthetic material is really lightweight and drys fast, really fast. They are also tailored enough to wear around town without looking like a hobo who just came out of the woods.

Great pants. I'm normally a 33 and 34 waist depending on pant type so I bought 34's. The 34's stretch out after about 10 minutes wear to the point they are falling off so a belt is necessary. I ordered a 32 on a whim and voila! they fit perfect and even when they stretch out they still fit well. I'd say the sizing is large so order wisely.

These pants are amazing. They wear great and look great. I've switched from Prana Zion's to these. Gusseted crotch permits easy movement. Side pocket holds phone or wallet. They have a tendency to stretch in the waist which renders the 34" waist loose; a belt is necessary. I usually wear a 34" in casual dress pants. The 32" fit amazingly well (not snug at all) with or without belt and although they can get a little loose theres no need for a belt. I stated that they run large because the 34" fit, but, they loosen up very quickly.

The pants feel great. light weight and elastic, enables you to move freely

It's great that OR has pants in a 30" inseam for us shorter folks. Most outdoor clothing lines only have 32" inseams which leaves my only options to be rolling them up some or trying to find a seamstress/tailor that will alter them. Most around here do not like to do so because of the material and when they do it never looks right. Plus the added cost is not ideal.

great service from OR, i have nothing to say but good about them

At 5'10 190lbs, it's hard to find a pant that fits my waist without being 6 inches too long in the leg. But OR nailed with the length on the Short version of these pants. Fabric is breathable, stretchy, and more water resistant than I expected. Yes, the front pockets are shallow, but deep enough to hold a small pocket knife. The side pocket is too deep though, anything with weight (cell phone, wallet) moves around too much. Great for a map or buff or something. For Mil/LE, super comfortable under harnesses and sub-loads with thigh straps.

wear these daily. very comfortable and versatile. I use these pants for everything from travel to fitness, they're lightweight and flexible. They conform great and are non-restrictive like jeans for example. they're also weather resistant so can be worn in any regular condition.

There is indeed some kind of black magic playing about these trousers. I am perpetually between sizes both in waist and length, in all makes and models of outdoor wear and yet these FIT ME PERFECTLY. Sorry about that, all you whole-size wonders out there but sometimes something has to break in favor of the underdog. So far I have worn them in cold/rainy, hot/muggy and arid environments and they performed well; They wear effortlessly and look great. They are unobtrusive in an office environment as well. I'm waiting on my third pair. Too early to judge durability, fingers crossed.

Along with the Ferrosi line these Voodoo pants are the best fit and feel pants I've ever own. They are a little slimmer than the Ferrosi (for reference), and a little lighter feeling to me. The cuff is folded and sewn about an inch high whereas the the Ferrosi has a stiff elastic band around the cuff maintaining the shape (not creating a constraint and not adjustable). The side pocket is perfect for small flat items in order to maintain the freedom of mobility. Any modern smartphone may fit in the thigh, but all the 'plus' size phones won't allow zip up (for reference). I'd buy every colour if I could...I just might. I'm just one away. Fit's exactly to size and length, don't hesitate. I'm 100% converted to OR gear, this is one of the many reasons.

I work on a US Forest Service trail crew in the North Cascades. I bought these pants primarily for work, but I like them so much I rarely take them off. I needed something durable enough to handle a full season of trail work without falling apart, and something that was good for hiking in, and quick drying as I would need to wear them day after day during camp-outs. These pants do the trick . They breathe well when I'm working up a sweat in the mid summer heat, and keep me warm enough during the spring and fall on cold days with on again off again rain showers. These pants are somewhat thicker than the ferrosi pants, which only adds to their durability. After a full season of work as well as wearing them hiking and climbing in my off time they have held up well. They shed light rain, but if it's really raining for a sustained period of time they will get wet. However, they dry out very quickly. I am 5'9" 155 lbs with a 30" inseam. I ordered the 32" short version and they fit great. OR pants tend to run a little big in the waist. I normally wear a 33" waist in other pants like carharts, but I always go with 32 for OR, and I still have a little wiggle room in the waist line. If you're unsure between two waist sizes I would recommend sizing down.

I wear these to work and out hiking, climbing, camping. Fit is perfect for my shorter legs and the waist is super comfortable with the lining inside that keeps your t shirt tucked in nicely. I put on long underwear on cold days and these are still great in the winter!

I spend lots of time in the field and needed a versatile, lightweight pair of pants...OR delivers again...

I wear these pants year round, to the movies, golfing, hunting, they are good for any occasion, they look great and feel even better, i have had these pants going on 5 years and i still havent destroyed them yet and how rough i am to these pants they should of been,

I was expecting the material to be slightly heavier weight but I am very happy with these pants. Zippered pockets and convenient and a good size. The front pockets are not too deep that they affect your leg and there positioning is such that they don't catch.

Really like these pants, they are almost perfect. If the front pockets were 2 inches deeper they would be. As they are they are great XC Skiing and Snowshoeing pants. I also plan on using them this summer for hiking and Backpacking.They also are sharp looking and make a great around town pant. I teach XC Skiing and was a bit concerned about how light they were but was pleasantly surprised with their windproof quality.
