Customer Reviews Obermeyer Jinks ITB Softshell Pants

I am 5'6, 160-165lbs, and on the verge of sizing down to a 6 from an 8 (I wear 8 in dress pants, but 6 in Lululemon leggings, for example). So, I ordered both a 6 and an 8 in these pants, hoping that I'd be small enough for the smaller size but keeping an open mind because they're ski pants after all. I put on the 6 and they fit my legs until I couldn't physically pull them up anymore. This wasn't due to having fat thighs- they were literally too short and the crotch started 3/4 up my thigh. Then I tried on the 8. These pants made it all the way up and were so tight on my stomach that I broke a sweat trying to get the zipper all the way up. There's no hook to secure them closed before you fasten the zipper, just a snap to use after the zipper. I used the snap anyways until I could get the zipper to the top and then re-snap it. Oh boy, the sight was horrendous. My butt and legs looked fabulous, but the elastic waistband created the biggest pooch and muffin top I've ever seen. I tried bending over and crouching down like you would when skiing on a catwalk- surprisingly, nothing popped open. The waistline gave enough for me to be able to breathe in that position, but it felt tight in the crotch-butt area. I kept feeling the need to pull the pants up higher (the horizontal line hit right at the top of my knee caps), but I couldn't due to the stirrups and fabric restriction at the calves. I could probably fit a 10 perfectly, but my feelings are a little hurt.

Definitely buy a size or two up. I wear a 4 normally, got a 6, and it was definitely super tight still.

So glad I read the reviews to figure out sizing! I am 5’, 115 pounds, athletic with muscular legs and booty. A solid 26” in Levi’s, 26” or 25” in Madewell jeans. I got the 10S and it fits PERFECTLY. They are stylish and comfy and warm, and excited to wear them!

Fit great. Sized well. Just not the waterproof pants I need for rafting ;)

I love them. Unfortunately they run small so I need to order bigger one. I am 5’3” 122lb and size 4 is way too small Happy to find them hopefully they will have my size ?

Many of the reviews commented on the sizing, I think, like a lot of ski brands, the sizing is European, not American. So, you may keep that in mind. I’m a fuller size 0/2 in American, so I figured I’d be a 6-8. Im 5’8 so went with the Long version. I’m very happy I went with the 8L. It gives me enough wiggle room where I can be active in these, but the pants are still fitter enough on my legs and butt to be stylish if wearing them to dinner.

5'2" 135 lbs snug, but good leg length, 12 S black fit, the 12 S white was too small in waist. 14 S white close, but too big/long overall, elsewhere I tried a 16 and it was huge. Will be great in the snow.

5,4" 135lbs I really love these pants. I sized up one size based on other reviews and they fit perfect. I usually wear a size 6 and bought an 8. I love that they will fit inside my ski boots.

I’m updating my earlier review b/c I’ve finally figured out these pants! 1) You must order 2-3 sizes larger than you normally wear. Again, I’m 5’5 and 125 pounds, thin, with a muscular butt. I normally wear size 4-6 (26-28 in jeans), and I had to order the size 10 R for these to fit! 2) The label goes in the *front,* so what looks like the back is actually the front! There’s a zipper pocket and it looks like a typical back pocket…but it goes in the front. So, yeah, they fit much better once you figure out the crazy sizing and, um, put them on *not backwards*. Hehe. Anyhoo, I actually like these now that they fit bc it’s so difficult to find waterproof pants that are cute! Disregard my earlier review! :)

zipper on side does not stay zipped

The quality of this ski pants are good but it took me a while to figure out the size. They do run very small. I had to order size 12L (I am 5’9 and 125 pounds). I wear size 4 in Lilly Pulitzer or jeans size 27 or 28. In any other leggings, I am size S. So this particular ski pants run very small.

These are really cute but the cut of the pants do not work for me. I have long legs and a short waist - I couldn’t pull them up because they were too short. If I took my feet out of the stirrups - then maybe but the stirrups are an important feature. Material is awesome, color was perfect but fit just wasn’t right for me.

i have similar obermeyer form fitting stretch ski pants in size 4. After reading the reviews, I ordered a 4, 6, 8. The fit is very funky. The 8 is too small. I'm going to try a 10 and a 12S. I don't knw. Bit they definitely look like leggings. I've never seen that in a ski pant. If i can find the right size, i think i'll like it

I totally agree with the other reviewer. These pants are downright defective. Skip them! I am 5'5 and 125, with a slim but toned body. I do not have a "problem area," per se. I ordered a 4-6, which is my size, always. They fit fine for my legs but would not zip around my hips. I do not carry weight in my hips. I do have a muscular butt; however, my butt fits fine in every other pair of pants that I own that are 4-6 (26-28 in jeans). If the material stretched, perhaps that would have helped. However, I tend to believe it may be more of a design flaw.
