Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Oriel Leggings

I purchased these leggings, after already purchasing two pairs of the Delaney legging. The Delaney pair had been my favorite for a long time, When I seen these new legging advertised, I noticed the side pockets were placed in a more flattering location but also the material was more fit for climbing. When these leggings arrived I was nervous that they felt so thin, I tried them on and thought they would show through. To my surprise they showed nothing, the feel is so smooth and I 100% trust these leggings to do the job. They are alot more flattering than the Delaney legging and you can wear them to climb, to the shops and also dress these up with a nice top and boots if you wanted. I am hoping to purchase them in the other two colours.

I tried these pants in-store and loved them! Bought them in every color! They are meant for climbing which I haven't tested yet but they are also great for everyday! They aren't see-through (like some other brands) and they are surprisingly very durable! The side pockets are a cute bonus too. They are thinner than the Delaney leggings but I think they will be great for trails and light hiking this spring!

These would have been perfect if the waistband was more supportive. Please please make these high waisted or include a drawstring.

Love these! My favourite warm weather leggings by far. The material is comfortable and breathable and the pockets are awesome. I have been wearing my first pair for over a year and they have held up well to lots of wear including the abuse of climbing. The stitching has frayed a bit, but it isn't very noticeable. I did get a second pair to wear when the first ones are in the wash. Best to try these on before purchasing them as the consensus from some of my friends is that they fit differently for different people.

I bought these tights a month ago and used it for a long 15km hike for 2 days in a row in the mountains. I was skeptical at first since the fabric is so thin. But it was amazing. Felt so light and easy. No moisture, very breathable and really helped to move around with ease. one day after wearing it, I didn't think I could use it for day 2 of hike. But it was no problem at all. looked as good as new. The pockets to keep the phone or hiking pass was so useful.

I am incredibly impressed with the durability of these leggings. I have put them through the ringer, big alpine days, glissading, chimneying, gentle off-width, and the only hole I had was when I was 3rd classing on Temple Crag and it snagged on a sharp rock on the side of my leg. The behind still has 0 holes and the seams are a little frayed. I will say mosquitoes can still penetrate these and I do not feel they are comfortable to wear around the house. But, I have not experienced chafing in these either even after my 20+ mile days. All-in-all, I'll buy another pair and consider them a part of my Summer Sierra's uniform.

I have 3 pairs of this and honestly I love the feel of the fabric, the pocket, durability and the fit except I wish Arc'teryx make (at least make it an option) pants of short inseams for short peeps like me!!! :( Because it's made for regular length, the lower portion doesn't hug the lower leg. I used this from lounging to hiking to running to yoga. When I got stuck in South America due to the pandemic and had to do "yoga fellowship" with my fellow stranded gang in the sun, my legs hurt from the rays and one thing came to mind. I wish this has UV protection too!!! *hint hint Is it too much to ask? =)

These leggings are truly wonderful, very durable and well thought out. I love everything about them. I am about 5'11 and if you are on the taller side these leggings will look like capris on you. They end about 3 inches above my ankle. I wish they were slightly longer. But overall great leggings, just be mindful if you are taller they will not go down to your ankles.

I like these leggings because of the pockets and nice material. But, if I hadn't already worn them, I would return them. While the fit seemed good in store, after wearing them a few times, the waistband folds down or they need to be hiked up after some walking. There is no drawstring, so you can't tighten the waist like other brands. And I'm a bit nervous about using the pockets much because the tops of the pockets seem to pucker out, even without anything in them.

I really like these pants for climbing especially in hot weather. The material is soft, breathable and light. They function perfectly in a harness. On approaches and descents with my harness off the waist tends to fall down. There's something funny with the crotch area, it tends to bunch in a funny way appearance wise. Not the smooth appearance of some other brands. Not in an uncomfortable way, just in a way that I'd wear these more for function then appearance. But they're great in terms of a climbing pant and I am buying a second pair.

I love these leggings. Unlike many of these other reviews I've actually found them surprisingly durable as I typically expect them to always wear through at the knees. They feel really silky and smooth and comfortable. They are great to climb in especially when wearing a harness that keeps the waistband up but they do fall down whenever I've tried to hike quickly are run down the descent trail. The pockets are awesome and keep things suprisingly secure. I accidentally took my phone up a multi pitch and it didn't fall out, in fact I didn't even notice it until after!

I have the Delaney leggings and love them so when I found out about the new Oriel's I had to snag a pair. They fit a bit smaller than the Delaney's but they don't attract dog hair which is one issue I have with the Delaney's. The Oriel's are durable and the smooth texture is very comfortable for all day wear. I use them for kayaking, cycling, horseback riding, and everything in between. Also, I love the pockets the most!

I bought these about half a year ago and have used them a lot since. They're so smooth, comfortable and light weight. But I'm still disappointed, since they have stretched out quite a lot. I tried out both S and XS in the shop. XS were too tight, while S fit me perfectly. So I bought the S, thinking that for the price and expected quality that they'd stay at least somewhat true to size. Unfortunately they're now kind of loose everywhere, especially around the knees. They're also a little too short for my liking. For reference I'm 163 cm and weigh 52 kg.

I have two pairs of these and while I absolutely LOVE the way they look, fit, and feel, the fabric isn't nearly as durable for climbing as claimed. Both developed holes at the knees pretty quickly and one on a random spot on the front of the thigh. Really disappointing :(

I bought these in the spring looking for a more durable alternative to my regular high-end leggings. Although the fabric seems great, these pants DO NOT stay up on me...I am literally constantly hiking the waist up which is very annoying. I'm so disappointed with this product. :(

I returned an XS (even though my dimensions are exactly those of XS) because they were uncomfortably tight around the waist; there's no waist band really, just a top seam, and that top seam dug in deep, especially when I bent over. Uncomfortable to the point of nausea, it cut so far into my belly. S fit around the waist, hips and thighs without constriction (but still some compression) until I actually wore them for a workout. Now they're bagging at the knees, thighs, and bum, and the pockets are sagging open. I also look like I peed myself because the olive green colour does not hide crotch sweat. Size down, wear only for non-sweaty activities, i.e buying groceries and drinking wine. :(

I'm 176cm and 62kg. Usually wear size M, and the M in these fits well. The fabric is quite thin and strechy. I would prefer them to be much longer though, much shorter than a 7/8 lenght for me.

I was really excited to buy these leggings for climbing. Heard about other leggings not lasting for climbing outdoors and, as I mainly do that, I was eager to buy diverging of high quality, designated for climbing. The issue I had from the very first moment was the sliding waistband. I find myself always pulling them up, there's no waist cord to make them stay put. I always feel like they are sliding and fit climbing that's annoying. Not too mention if i place my phone in one of the pockets... Secondly, 2 days after getting them outdoors for climbing the drama started to fall apart. They caught on to the limestone I was climbing (not particularly sharp, but my standards) and the strands started to appear where the seams are. Love the feel of them on the skin, but I am sad I bought them. Pricey for what I got. They're not my favourite at all.

I'm 5'2", 32" waist, 38" hips. The medium fit better than the small. I've climbed in these at the bouldering gym on 3 separate occasions and I would say the fabric is durable; however, the seams are not. Like another reviewer, the seams on the thigh are already fraying for me. The other issue I have with these is the waist. I'd prefer a high waist. As someone who doesn't have a flat stomach (yes, rolls) the waist is uncomfortable and won't stay put if I'm doing yoga or other workouts. The lining on the waist is also an uncomfortable texture. I own some amazing leggings that don't have these issues. I was really looking forward to these being the leggings I use for all sorts of activities. I also was excited that this was designed by women. I love that the fabric is lightweight and durable. I love the pockets. But the other issues just make these an expensive pair of OK leggings. I hope you all fix some of these issues.
