Customer Reviews Royal Robbins Bug Barrier Discovery III Pants

I had been looking for a good pair of hiking pants for some time now, and these are perfect. I’m 5’5” about 140 lbs. normally I wear a 6 or 8. I bought the 8 regular and they fit perfect. Not too tight, because you need a bit of room in hiking pants.

These feel loose on me overall, but fit me around the waist, which is a rare combination. They are lightweight and hang the way I like over my athletic/curvy body. I kept them to take on a vacation with hiking. Hope they're as good as I think they are.

I love the pants so far. I am between size 12/14 depending on the day. Size 14 fits more comfortably than 12. I hope they don’t stretch out too much.

Perhaps it's the bug proof fabric, but the feel is rough to me. I think it would be hot to wear hiking on a warm day. The low rise waist did not work for me. Returning! But I am happy I got to try them on and make a decision prior to a trip

I was not sure what size I would wear because it was a button waist. I ordered both an 8 and a 10 and kept the 10. The eight did fit, but was tight in the waist. The fabric is somewhat rough, but that is to be expected with bug repellant in them. I liked them so much I have these pants in both black and natural.

I usually wear either an 8 or 10 and needed a 10 in these. I am taking them on a trip where you need to watch out for mosquitoes and bees, and these will be perfect. As another person said, the fabric is stiff, but that is from the bug repellant on them as well as to keep them from stinging you. I plan to wear them often and bought another pain in tan.

Liked overall and well made, but runs small, especially if intending to layer.

These are huge for me. From top to hugely large lower leg which doesn't make sense as a bug repellent. I regularly wear a 4 and these seemed like a 10. Otherwise, fabric seemed created to achieve their bug barrier intentions but need to be modified to fit.
