Customer Reviews Outdoor Research Voodoo Pants

I am 6' 145lbs. The Medium size fits great in the legs, & horribly in the waist. The waist was WAY too big for me & resulted in some serious chafing along my hips while wearing them w/ a heavy backpack. The chafing was due to the pants bunching up under a belt b/c they needed to be cinched down in order to keep them from dropping to my ankles. I swapped them out for some better fitting pants before embarking on a longer trek. They would be great pants if they fit like the OR Cirque pants. Very disappointed.

These pants would get a much higher rating if it weren't for the sizing. I must say that that are up to the typical OR standard of solidly constructed goods and it it nice to see an outdoor apparel company offering hiking pants in slim sizing that don't look like out/of/style hiking pants. However, the waist and inseam of these pants is not true/to/size at all. The 30 waist of my pants are way too big (more like a 32/33) and they missed the mark on the inseam too: this time too short. It's too bad as otherwise, I would buy another pair in a heartbeat.

I have owned 2 pairs of these. The first set I sent back after a month because the back pockets came unstitched. I was given a warranty credit and I got a second d pair. The stitching in the pockets and crotch started coming out the second time I wore them. For a hiking pant, they aren't durable.

Pockets are way too skimpy

The fabric is stretchy, but the stitching is not. As a result, the stitching breaks when the fabric is stretched. Within three days of use the back pockets were detached from the body of the pants, and the back seam was coming apart. I have other pants from OR that are great, but until the get stitching that can handle the fabric stretch, avoid this version of pants!

I can't even wear these pants because the pockets are horrible. I can't even fit my whole hand in the front or rear pockets. If you have a bigger smart phone like an 8plus, you won't be putting them in these pockets. I wouldn't even feel comfortable putting my wallet in them. Other than that, the pants are great. I wear them around them house when I know I'm not using the pockets.
