Customer Reviews Outdoor Research Apollo Pants

5

These pants are great, they are super comfortable and I love that the bottoms have a draw cord so I can scrunch the ankle section of the pants in so they don't drag. These have kept me dry and comfortable. I do wish the sizing was a bit more specific (I need a shorter length).

Worked great as snow pants!

These are nice rain pants. They have good features for the price. Unfortunately living in the Southwest, with no rain I haven't been able to try them out.

Perfect outer layer for colder days on the mountain. Bought them one size too big so I can fit them over bulky layers.

Zippers make on/off easy, good rain protection, first pair lasted a very long time. Buying two in case they quit making them.

good fit

Solid!!! Perfect fit...love it

Awesome super light weight rain pant that I can throw into my Rucksack and forget. But when they are needed they stop the water.

Bought these to match my rain for the outdoor kids activity, can't believe how great they work!

Easy on and off, lightweight and easy to throw in your bag for weather on the trail.

Not had a chance to trial fits true to size looks durable

I haven't had an extensive time to test these pants, but they fit as advertised. I am typically a 32 inseam and 34 length and the mediums fit slightly slight short in length, good around the waist. I prefer the shorter length so that the pant doesn't interfere with my boot. The pant has been waterproof thus far in the wet snowy conditions I've used them in ice fishing and snowshoeing. I would give them a full five stars if the buttons on the side of the pants that fold over the zipper didn't keep coming undone. Side pockets would also be a great addition. Would recommend to my price conscious friends.

I have these in my pack spring summer and fall and at work in SE Alaska every day to/from the office. They are light and convenient. Full side zip is an excellent feature that is hard to find on cheap light rain gear. They are fully waterproof and durable enough for serious hiking and some bushwhacking. I wouldn't trust them for much glissading or rock work, but that is not their purpose. These are awesome for the price. On the negative, the button at the top of the side zip has the tendency to pop open if you zip down some for venting. The 2-sided Velcro wing design OR uses on the Furio pant stays much better. The draw string at the ankle hangs out of the pant if you pull it tight and can get caught or worn. I am 5'7" and 200 lb. I wear size L in these. They are a little long, but I am used to blousing legs on pants given my build. They are just right at the waist and just a hair snug in the upper thigh, but not enough to restrict movement.

Ordered for upcoming trip. Product description states "Elastic waist with Drawcord." These pants DO NOT have drawcord to help tighten waist. Was looking forward to wearing these pants. OR, please update your website with accurate product information. Returned item.

They are nice light rain pants but the full length zipper didn't separate at the ankle even though that feature is shown here. That means I'd have to take off snowshoes or skis to slide them off over my boot. Not something I'm comfortable doing in deep snow. I returned them and asked if maybe the wrong zipper got put in this pair. Haven't heard back. I would get another pair if the zipper completely opens the leg.
