Customer Reviews Outdoor Research Wadi Rum Pants

I bought these to wear doing trail work in the summer. I've worn them through many days of work, and lots of hiking around and they've held up great! Perfect balance of durability, but also not too hot to do long days of working in warm weather, and comfy to walk around in. I'm 5'6 125lbs and the size 4 fits great as a slightly looser work pant.

Looking forward to new colors soon.

These pants reach the holy trifecta of not-explicitly-technical gear: a) feels great on, between fabric and fit, b) have all the right functional details and c) look amazing. My hesitation with some "trail to town" clothes is that you're reluctant to really test their gear abilities, because the design seems to be at the forefront of the purpose. Not with these pants! They seem geared towards activity first, and just happen to be appropriate everywhere else. Wore bouldering, to tacos right after, to work, and then backpacking out in the North Cascades for a few days. Deep and well placed pockets, not too low of a waist, breathable fabric - yes! OR - please keep the curry color around!

These are super comfortable and also stylish. I bought them as a "i can hike in these but also wear them to work" pants and they're perfect for that. Good for cycling too. Love the pockets - so functional but don't look too bulky or technical. Love the color. The cotton feels good for everyday, but does mean I can't wear them for more serious adventures. Would totally buy a pair if OR made a pant exactly the same but with less/no cotton. Really love the curry color too!

Love my new pants. I wish they ran a little longer and I'll order a size up on my next order. I'm a little over 5'8 and the size 6 is a little snug, and a tad short. But... these pants are wonderful I can definitely recommend and will be buying again. The material and construction is well done and these will last a long time.

I love these pants! I've wanted yellow pants for a while and was a bit nervous to order these because I wasn't sure about the size. They fit perfectly, and I want them in every color!

These pants have REAL pockets. I wear them for east coast 98 degrees, hazy, hot humid, Fresh Pond, Mystic River, around town..Also trips to East Bay ,3 mile dog walks, finding river otters etc. everywhere... no purse! 5'3", 135 lbs. (loose fit size 10) Please make in lengths for women, grey,black? Do not change anything else. When OR gets it right they knock it out of the park.

These fit so well, they are light but tough, better than jean's, good for bouldering, I try to get away with them in the office too. I got curry colour which is extra fun. I only take these pants off to wash them...and that's not often

I've worn these on a couple soggy Western Washington camping trips and they've been awesome. I could be active and play hard in them. They got rained on and dried quickly. Love them!

Ladies, do you have a hard time finding pants with real pockets? If so check these out! 4 large pockets that still look good, comfortable and loads of fun colors to choose from. Nice enough for my casual workplace. I am 5'5", 125 and got the 4, I could probably wear the 2 as they're a bit loose.

I'm 5'7", 125#, with a very small waist and relatively big swing down low, and the size 6 fits me perfectly. I saw another reviewer's comment about the low waist, and I'd agree, but I find the low waist is exactly where I prefer it (any higher and the waist would be way too big for me). I got these pants mainly for bushwhacking during fieldwork in all weather conditions, and they're stretchy enough to climb over rocks and logs, and durable enough to handle prickly brush. I recently wore them on a trip to Africa and found them versatile enough to wear on the plane (comfortable enough for sleeping) and also in the bush. The thigh pockets are roomy enough for wallet, phone, passport, etc. My only suggestion for future improvement would be the make the pockets "sealable" for travel. I used the pockets a lot but had to empty them out whenever I entered a populated area - they're just too pickpocket friendly.

Use for hiking, travel and casual wear.

Wanting something lightweight, not too hot for the boulder gym. These work great and I will also be wearing these hiking in the spring. They don't restrict range of motion, and the material is tough enough that it's not going to snag or break down easily like other light weight materials I have worn.

I was looking around around a pair of pants for Indoor bouldering and noticed the great reviews these had. I purchased on the positive feedback and was not disappointed. These are great in the gym. Really lightweight and breathable. They also have a lot of stretch but the fabric seems durable. The bottoms roll up easily and stay rich is a plus for me. Ordered online without trying on and size fit nicely. I'm 5'4" 125 and a size 4 fit well. I probably could have gone for a size lower for a tighter fit but i like them a but roomier.

Love the pants! I wasn't too sure about the colour at first (carob), but it goes well with almost all my clothes! And OMG deep pockets on women's pants! Awesome!

I purchased these pants for international travel but have found them so comfortable and practical that I wear them almost everywhere. The fabric is such a nice tight weave that they work well for bushwhacking off trail and at home gardening. Stains seem to come out easily so they are ready to wear around town as well.

Wore on a wall in Zion this weekend, weather was sunny and they worked great. Have also worn to work plenty. Comfy and good looking pants. Love the two deep side pockets-not obviously "cargo pant"-looking but great for holding a phone, wallet, etc.

Love these pants! Lightweight and versatile to dress up or down!

I debated for a while on which size to buy. I'm 5'4", about 120lbs, and generally like the fit of size 2 pants for everyday wear and hiking. All of my climbing pants are XS or size 2, but given the slim fit of these pants, I wondered how stretchy they would be and if I should size up if I wanted to climb in them. I ultimately ordered a size 2, intending to use them for hiking, and if they were stretchy enough to climb in, that would be a bonus. The fit is great and flattering, and these are my new favorite hiking pants. I haven't attempted to climb in them yet, so I'm not sure if they'll have enough stretch to not restrict my range of motion when climbing. They do stretch out a little with wear, so it's possible I may get enough from that stretch to accommodate high stepping, but I just don't know yet. Will update the review after I attempt climbing in them. Overall, I totally love them and will most likely buy another pair. My only wish is that they be offered in more colorful options. I'd been eyeing them for a while, but wasn't in love with the colors, until they released the "washed peacock" color. Please: red, purple, orange, green, yellow! Fun colors!

Real pockets in women's pants! I was very surprised. I am always looking for pants that have large pockets and they are very hard to find. These pants are also stretchy and very comfortable. good for climbing.

I bought two pairs of these pants for work and I have been using them for hiking as well. They truly stretchy and super cozy!

The Wadi Rum Pants are a wonderful product, I am super happy with them. I really like that you can pretty much a multi use pant.

I have searched high and low for a pair of climbing pants since my last pair fell apart(not OR). I wanted something that wasn't a "techy" material and that could roll up and not stretch out too much as I wear them. I bought this on a whim and they are just what I was looking for! They are perfect for approaches and climbs. I have climbed several times in Joshua Tree NP and I am not afraid they are going to get ruined. I can't wait to wear them on an offwidth climb. They are not too hot to approach/hike in and they are warm enough to wear on a cool evening. I have ordered 2 pair, so far.
