Bought my first pair of these pants, tried them on, and immediately ordered a second pair. The comfort of sweats in a woven, more durable, more presentable fabric. Only thing that would make them better for me is if they were a bit longer; they are barely ankle-length and I have short legs. But I assume that is a design choice, to accommodate boots... Read More? Anyway, awesome pants, having a hard time wearing anything else.
My second Caliza, because I couldn't stop wearing the first one I bought, and they do need to get washed every so often. It's like wearing my favorite cozy yoga pant, stretchy all over and no binding. Perfect fit.
Love these pants! Being 5'8 I can just get away with wearing these as pants and not capris -however! Be careful washing these, I shrank them by mistake and now they are capris. I wish they made tall sizes. The pants overall are amazing for climbing. Amazing flexibility and durability
Hi Ashley, thanks for the awesome review on the Caliza Rock Pants. We're stoked that you love them. We'll definitely take your feedback into consideration and about offering tall sizing.
We were also bummed to hear about the shrinking mishap. If you find the size too bothersome now, please feel free to begin a [warranty return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) at any time. We'll reach out to you as well with further assistance.

Great pants, beware of butt/crotch sweat
So, these pants are awesome, I love Climbing in them. I could do with them offering a long/tall version, but I am fine with them being a little short for climbing. My only real issue, and maybe I am just weird and extra sweaty, is the sweat stains around where my harness sits (butt/crotch). I wore these (the blue pair) for the first time Gym Climbi... Read Moreng, and was slightly embarrassed when I had to walk out of the climbing gym looking like I peed myself and wondering if it looked like that the whole time I was climbing. I would love some suggestions Patagonia on how mitigate considering for the price. Free undershorts? lol. Overall though they are awesome and I do recommend.
Hey Madison, thank you for sharing this review. We're sorry these pants are showing sweat so much!

Amazing! ...but
Okay so I LOVE these pants. I have the blue in a 14 and the pink ones in a 12. I love the waist band, and the stretchy but rigid but comfortable material. The pockets are great, I was worried they would puff out and look weird but I was pleasantly surprised that neither pair did!
The only thing I wish... LONGER INSEAM! I'm a 6" female at... Read Morehlete, I usually wear a 10 but because patagonias sizing isn't the most friendly to curvy gals I bought the 14 first - i can wear them a little low and they reach my ankles but the pink ones are definitely high waters. Luckily they are cute enough and comfy enough for me to justify looking alittle funny.
I wish there was like a fall green or black in a longer length. I wear these pants like every other day. House work, hiking, climbing, going to work, just relaxing they're a making but definitely could be like 2-3 inches longer for me
I wore these in hot, humid weather to climb, and they were not too hot at all! These are a great all-around climbing pants - the material is sturdy but has the perfect amount of give and stretch while protecting from any abrasions on the wall. The elastic waist is smooth and comfortable under a harness, and provides amazing support. I agree with th... Read Moree other reviews that these will be likely too short if you're 5'7" and up. The pockets are slanted and a phone could pop out while hiking, but I found that nothing actually fell out of the pockets while hiking. I also appreciate the lack of zippers or unnecessary features on these pants, as those could get in the way when wearing a harness or get caught while climbing. Looking forward to buying more pairs in different colors!
Nice fabric, stretchy but not so thin and slimy feeling like many products these days, they definitely run shorter than I'd like, which seems to be true for others too.
These just became my favorite pants for climbing, hands down. Ive been hunting for a good pair of pants for climbing, and have tried everything from other popular brands, and always had a complaint. These are perfect. They fit my curvy wider hips and narrower waist perfectly. They don't ride up, or fall down all day long, and they're brea... Read Morethable, comfortably loose, and look good on! The fabric is stretchy and light while being strong and durable for Trad, sport, or bouldering. I will be buying another pair asap!! Thank you Patagonia for making a good pair of pants that fit me!
I have these in every color. I wear them to work with Birkenstocks and a cardigan. I boulder in these with zero issues and I ride my bike to work in these. I love the waistband. Its extremely comfortable. You can size up if you want for extra room, otherwise they are true to size and you will never take them off.
These are my go-to pants for all occasions! You can go from work to the crag (or vice versa!) in style. They are amazing for bouldering or rope climbing; they have ample stretch even though they are cotton, and the elastic waistband minimizes bulk for harness-wearing.

I love these pants so much. I'm 5'6" 130lbs and the size 4 fits me perfectly.

I climb in these (no issues with high feet because of the stretch), mountain bike in these when it's cooler, we... Read Morear 'em around town for whatever because they look pretty nice. I'm hoping they come out with new colors soon because they're great. My only complaint is that the front pockets are not deep enough, and I'd give anything if there was a zipper pocket somewhere so I can stash stuff in 'em while I'm climbing, or secure my keys better because I don't like to carry a bag. If the pockets were fixed I'd never buy another pant lol.
First of all, if you're 5' 6" or shorter, these will be amazing for you. The fabric is durable. The waistband is comfortable. The color is amazing. However, at 5' 10", these pants are way too short for me. I might keep them even though I hate capris because the rest of the pant is perfect. To be full length, I would need 3-...

Best pants ever
I now have 5 pairs of these Caliza and they are so comfortable for all kinds of activities. I always get compliments when I wear them. I love the flexibility of the fabric and the snap adjustability.

Please do not ever discontinue them.
I had to return my original purchase of a size 6 for a size 8 because they run a bit small, but I should have known better since I'm an hourglass trying to buy Patagonia.

I am with the reviewer Amanda below. These are super comfortable, durable , and stretchy and the wide elastic waist is such a great idea. However to get the waist to fit I had to size right down so the legs fit a bit too closely The pockets are useless.

These are great pants, but they are short. Please make a tall option! Also I no longer see the pretty green/blue color that I have. Please bring back/ expand the color options. Its so hard to find good climbing pants for women, and these are oh so close to perfect.
Hello Cada, thank you for your review. We'll share your thoughts on the inseam length with our product team. We typically switch colors out seasonally, so we recommend checking back!

My favorite pants for climbing, just too short!
Pants are well-named as these hold up great on sharp limestone! I am in love with these pants and they fit like they are made for me except they are a couple inches too short and when Im in a harness they land at about mid calf! Id be first in line for a tall version of the Caliza pants!
These are my favorite rock climbing pants. I love how durable they are and that they do not make my butt look flat like most climbing pants do. I own 3 pairs so far and plan on buying more!
I am a hiker and bicycle rider and these pants fit those activities perfectly. Just the right amount of stretch and slim fitting. I love the Henna color and the waistband, it could be a tad wider. I am 5'6" and the legs are just long enough, I went up in size (usually an 8, size 10, regular/29, fit me just fine) . My daughter has the same...

Love so much I got two colors! They run large, had to size down. They are a little long on me, hit right below my ankle but that is fine I just rolled them up! Pockets hold the phone!
I've been climbing for 13 years and these are by far my favorite climbing pants! I've gone through many climbing pants over the years and these are the best. Great for the gym, outdoor bouldering and sport climbing. Great with a harness since there's no snaps or buttons. These pants are but with enough room to move freely and they&#x...

Please keep making these in more colors :) I have 3 pairs and finally need to replace one since my husband threw them in the dryer on high and shrunk them :(
Not sure why the team would choose to design such a nice technical pant with such useless pockets. If you look at other men's pants like the venga, the pockets aren't as slanted and could feasibly be used to hold objects, not these!

Please make more!!
These are the best pants on the planet. Ive been waiting for more gray size 2 for many months. Please make more!!
I love these pants so much (bought a second pair and am considering a third). They are super comfortable (don't ride up or down), and the material is great and seems to be very durable. I do wish they were a hair more loose-sitting, and an additional slanted thigh-pocket would be great for when you're wearing a harness, but overall these ... Read Moreare by far the best climbing pants I have.
The fit was accurate and they are very comfortable for casual wear. I purchased the blue and love the color, they do look like hospital scrubs however. I am a bit worried about the waist, they seem to fall down a bit while walking, thus the rating of 4 stars
These pants are very comfortable and breathable. I took them on an 8 day trip and wore them five days. I even spilled my drink in my lap and didnt get wet! They were perfect!
I was hesitate to order these pants because I don't usually spend that much money on clothes, but these were worth every penny. I was on the fence about size and these worked out perfectly. I'm 5'3.75" and have 30" inseam. I'm probably close to a size six on the chart, but I didn't want them to be loose on my wais... Read Moret because of the elastic waistband, I think this was the right choice. I love the durable feel of the fabric, yet it's flexible. Very excited to have these! I got the burnt orange-ish color and love it.
I love the shape, the colors, the fit, the pockets, the snaps, the comfort and the compliments I get when I wear these. I have 4 pairs. They are not for winter but great in 3 other seasons. I just love these pants.
When I first tried them on in the store, they were so comfortable that I thought to myself, "They are like an old friend, comfortable and reliable."
I love them!
My only complaint is that the size 2 feels too short and the size 4 didn't fit in the waist. The snaps at the bottom often pop open when they ride too high on my calf with a high foot, etc. For reference, I'm 5'8 135lbs.

I like how comfy these are, but..I just wore them this weekend. I was canoeing in a remote area and as I was getting out of the canoe, fell in up to my waist. They took more than half the day to dry out while hanging out in the bright sun. No one has time for this.

I would love to buy another pair, because I would wear them everyday if no one would judge me for it!
Love the style of the pants, but lots of improvements needed. First the waste band needs to be tighter. I am an athlete as most women buying these. The quads need to be the size of the 8 with the waist of a 4 or 6. the waist is high enough that we aren't going to see huge love handles being pinched ladies... lets tighten that up.

I wouldn't wear these multi pitch because of the lack of zipper pockets but bouldering should be fine. Almost great please if you're going to do one thing please make the pockets deeper so frustrating.
We appreciate your thoughtful and detailed feedback on all aspects of these pants. This kind of input is extremely valuable to our designers. Thanks for the review, Amanda!

Incredible
Theyre great! The waistband hits me above where my climbing harness hits and its comfortable and doesnt roll when I move around. The length is good, maybe a tiny bit short but Im 5 foot 9 so most pants are a little short! The snaps on the ankle are great, the adjustability has been easy and helpful especially in tick fields and the snaps are more c... Read Moreomfortable inside my socks than drawstrings and grommets. I like them a lot! They work for activity but definitely look nice enough to be town pants.
Also, my number 1 problem is always shredding pants between my legs and Ive worn these almost nonstop since they showed up and have not had any wear and tear yet which is definitely an unexpected bonus!
Great for climbing! Wore these outside on a recent trip and they were great at protecting my leg from scraping on the rock, stretchy for all movement needed, decently breathable, and also a great pant to hike in to keep off bugs/thorns. Also casual enough to wear to the office or running errands.
I got these in the green and they were my FAVORITE pants. Gave them rave reviews and got another pair in the brown (new season). They totally changed the sizing between seasons/colors. I measured against my other pair - they are like 3+ inches longer throughout (the knee hits lower, pants are longer); wider leg; wider waist; look slouchier. I was s...

Ideal Pants
I have these in Borealis Green and Current Blue and are now the only "bottoms" I wear to leave the house. Even during our hot summers, I still wear these!
One thing to note is that my Borealis Green pair went through a warmer than usual wash cycle and dryer cycle and shrank to what I'm estimating is the short length. I'm okay ... Read Morewith that length, but it was a bit of a bummer that it happened. I was staying with family and they were all tossed in the load together.
These pants are awesome, definitely my new favorites. Really lightweight, great fit, true to size. They did shrink slightly in the wash, but still fit great. I've worn them hiking, doing yoga, to work, and just bumming around town. Excellent quality, as is to be expected. Big fan!
After purchasing three pairs of these pants (and will likely purchase more in different colors), I wear these in nearly every situation that I can. With a loose form-fitting style, these can be dressed up easily but are also stretchy and breathable enough for nearly any activity. I have worn them climbing, running, working, weight-lifting, and trav... Read Moreeling. Can't recommend these enough! Just know that they are a bit cropped, so if you are tall like myself, they are QUITE cropped.
these are just a tiny bit smaller than the red ones I ordered last year.. but I loooove the fit. the usual low waisted styles have never fit. So I am trying to decide wheter to order same size again or go up one.
Im difficult to fit and allergic to synthetics, yet need versatile, performance clothing. I wont be climbing in these pants, but they are ideal for multiple activities. I love the subtle design statement, color (green), the stretch and the snap ankles. Wish there was a pair in blue available, but alas.
I ordered the Borealis Green color and it is beautiful; but the inseam was too long. The short version will probably fit perfectly, but does not have the color options the regular inseam does.

Love the color of the brown pants and I REALLY wanted to like the pant but who makes a climbing pant without a gusset crotch?!

LOVE
Just got these in the mail, Im 120 lbs, 55 the waistband is a little small but tbh you want it that way because there arent any drawstrings on it (and it stretches) but for me it fit PERFECT! LOVE these pants and I will be wearing them every single day from here on out. Comfy enough to sleep in, rock climbing, yoga, hiking, you name it!
I love these pants for bouldering. I ended up ordering 3 pairs in different colors because they are so flattering and comfortable. Easy to move in for climbing and they also look nice enough to wear out and about and even to work if your workplace is casual. I love all the pockets and the snaps at the ankles. Highly recommend.
Caliza pants have stretch/expandable fabric in the front of the waist making them very comfortable. Cotton is super breathable as well. Please add additional colors and don't be afraid to experiment with fun colors/designs of the stretchy fabric.
These pants are incredible they have enough stretch and thickness to be perfect for indoor and outdoor climbing in most weather. They have also replaced my leggings, jeans, and sometimes even pajama pants as the first pair I grab for everyday wear.

Not Durable
I love love love love the fit of these pants. They look great, super comfortable, perfect movement ability with the articulated knees.
Unfortunately, for the prescribed activity, rock climbing, these did not hold up. After just a few scrambly approaches with a bit of sliding, the butt got a bunch of holes. Disappointed by the quality.
After over a year of trying to find the perfect pair of climbing pants, these are it! I adore the waistband - the elastic is perfect under a harness, it lays flat, and is extremely comfortable. Patagonia, please never stop making climbing pants with this kind of waistband! It is perfect!
The fit is baggy enough for movement while climbing while st... Read Moreill being streamlined enough to fit in my harness and for me to see my feet. The fabric is durable.
I love these pants so much I bought them in two different colors (which I never do because it feels superfluous, but I can't emphasize how great these pants are).
For sizing reference, I got the 0 regular and they fit perfect. I am a 25" waist, 33" hips, and 28" inseam. They did shrink a little bit when I dried them, but that made them fit better for me.
Ordered two sizes 18 and 16, usually wear a size 18. Soon as I tried it on, I didn't want to take it off. They are warm without being hot, stretchy without looking like workout clothes. Classy without feeling restrictive. I ordered 2 more in other colors and waitlisted for the other two out of stock colors.
Size 6 is great. Waist is perfect, pockets lie flat, but like all Patagonia pants for women the inseam is short. If your inseam is longer than 32, you will find these to be high water pants. It is fine because these are for summer but I wish they came in tall.
I bought these specifically for climbing but I honestly could wear them everywhere. They are so comfy and durable, and stay true to size even after washing. Def going to buy more, as you should too!
As soon as I tried these on I ordered another color. Of all of the Patagonia products I've purchased over the past 40 or so years (most of which are still in service), the most-times-worn record was broken by my still-beloved Synchilla hoodie a couple decades (?) ago, but these pants might already be in second place.

The fabric is both sturdy and stretchy, and the knit waistband allows comfortable movement in any direction. The snap cuffs reach just above my ankle bones in size 4 regular. (5' 5.5", 123 lbs., long waist)
Just what it was made for - fabric is stretchy, but seems durable; waistband is super comfortable/not too tight; length hits just above the ankle - keeping it away from my footwork. So far I've only used them for bouldering and have made no effort to use the pockets.
I own three different styles of Patagonia climbing pants, and these are my favorite pair. So far, I've only climbed indoors with them but anticipate that they will perform well outdoors, too. They're incredibly comfortable, move well, and look sharp. I really like the waistband in particular. I've worn them around the house and plan ...

Wow! I have started to live in these pants! They are so comfortable that I've been wearing them from home on my Zoom calls, then walk right out to grab a cup of coffee with a friend.

My Samsung 20 fits into the ... Read Morefront pockets, but I doesn't stay in while sitting. I wish the back pockets had zippers rather than flaps, but I still love the pants!
These are great pants! I love lots of features, and the fabric.

Big, nice, flattering pockets and the fabric is stretchier (not a word) than you think it ought to be, what a delight. I bought 2 pairs. I'm a postpartum tradeswoman and these help me do it all and haven't gotten too stained yet.
These pants are excellent in durability and flexibility for bouldering and rope climbing! I am 118lbs, 5'4", and the size 4 fits perfectly it is not too snug but also not baggy. I have great mobility and no limitation in these pants for high steps or heel hooking. I have had several different brands of climbing pants in the past and these... Read More are currently my go to pants. However, the only drawback is that the front two pockets are useless---Patagonia could improve their design by either deepening these pockets so that they're useful or just getting rid of them.

I was looking for hiking/summer everything pants, but wasn't considering climbing pants. Traditional hiking pants all looked like they had PFAS, and I couldn't find anything in my size on Worn Wear... so I decided to give these a try. I am 5'10" so I thought they might be high waters, and had to go with 16s thanks to COVID weigh... Read Moret, but they fit great. I am wearing them right now. I purchased 2 pairs and might consider more as I can see these lasting for a long time and being great summer everyday pants in Southern California.
Im 5ft 5, muscular/curvy, 145 lbs. Other pata pants do NOT work for my thigh/hip/waist situation (too tight in the thigh, major waist gap) but these are awesome! I take both a 4 and a 6 - length on the 4 is perfect and the slimmer fit is nice (they do stretch with wear) but the rise is a little low. The 6 is ideal for layering over wooly leggings f... Read Moreor cold mornings and I like that the waistband comes up higher but with stretch theyre a bit big after a few days of wear (I truly live in these). I just get both sizes so I can chose the fit I want for the day, very stoked to see them starting to come in Short as well as Regular, would love to see a higher rise option too so theyd sit closed to my natural waist but otherwise theyre pretty much perfect, thanks Patagonia!
These are the only pants I ever want to wear climbing (and after). The fit is perfect (especially for someone like myself who has hips and a small waist). I typically wear a 27/26 in jeans and find the 6 to be perfect. My only wish is that there were more color options. I'm so happy about the release of the brown color, but I'd love to se... Read Moree more earth-tone colors (maybe a green and definitely a saffron/mustard). I love bright colors from time to time, but I'm always more drawn to the color options men are given (and I doubt I'm alone in feeling that way).
The pockets are designed terribly. Half of it is open, so whatever is in the pockets is going to fall out.
For waist, I'm between sizes, so I would size down.
Material is good, elastic waist is good. Just wish the pockets were usable.
So, I'm a guy who has been on the hunt for a pair of really stretchy + really abrasion resistant climbing pants for quite a while. The men's Venga rock pants are okay, but in my opinion don't stretch nearly enough for harder technical climbing. Same issue with the men's RPS pants -- they limit my mobility quite a bit.
After my... Read More girlfriend got two pairs of these I was incredibly jealous of how the fabric felt, so I just ball-parked what my waist size would be and went for it. They are incredible, these are the holy grail of climbing pants. Perfect stretch, perfect weight, the fabric feels durable.
I'm 5'9" and usually wear a 31 waist in men's pants, and went with the size 12 for these. I would probably also fit in a size 10, but 12 feels fine.
If Patagonia makes a men's version out of this same fabric, I'll give them a shot. Until then, I'll happily rock these.
I don't write reviews ever, but for this product, I had to. I've been an avid outdoor climber for years and have tried many outdoor gear brands climbing pants with no success, so much so that I kind of just became complacent with the idea that climbing pants were just not being made for people like me, with diverse body types that don... Read More7;t fit the standard vision of what a "climber" should be. I have hips and a backside that makes it hard to shop for pants and while in the last 10 years most clothing companies have caught up with the times and are making pants for people like myself, for some reason outdoor gear companies have not. Then I came across these pants. One of the models used to display them seemed to have a similar body type as myself, so I figured I would give them a try and let me tell you, they.are. perfect. Thank you Patagonia for making body inclusive clothing and showing diverse body types in your displays. I kid you not, I cried when I tried them on. It may seem silly, but finding these pants made me feel truly seen in the outdoor space for the first time. As a minority woman, I greatly appreciate your work!
Love these pants for bouldering! My first Patagonia pair and I could not be happier. Great for gym or outdoors. Im usually a size 4 bu my sized up to a 6, which Im happy I did (advice from other reviews). Feels like they will last a lifetime and Ill wear these for years to come.
These are the best pants for rock climbing. They're durable but stretchy so they don't restrict movement when you're on the wall. They are great for hiking as well and simply just for wearing casually too. They have nice pockets too. I recommend!
Really psyched about these pants. Good weight, good stretch. They look good on and the waist band is truly comfortable. Black definitely shows the chalk a lot , but I am totally so happy and will definitely get another pair.
Love: the waistband, the fabric, comfort
Needs improvement: things fall out of the pockets (front and back) all the time, there is a dramatic difference in length between the size 2 (capri length) and size 4 (so long I roll them)
I struggle to find climbing pants that actually fit, are comfortable, flattering, stretchy enough for those high feet moves, and are durable. Maybe for the first time ever I have found the pants that do it all- I want to give away all my other climbing pants because they no longer compare, highly recommend giving these a try
This is my second pair of these rock pants, though I don't climb. I like them because they fit so well and stay comfortable all day. The waist treatment is brilliant--secure, but not tight or loose, and doesn't stretch out.
I find myself reaching for these several
times a week since I bought them a couple of months ago. I love the adjustable snap at the ankle. Material is durable and comfortable. I will definitely be buying more pairs, especially if they make more colors and restock existing colors.
These are my favorite climbing pants. So breathable and easy to move in. I love the waistband. Very durable for climbing. I also wear them hiking or lounging around camp. Please make more colors! Would love the red ones to come back,
I got them to climb... but I love them for work! I work in mountain operations at a ski resort year round. This time of the year my average day fluctuates between doing office work, attending meetings, and teaching classes to spending the afternoon chainsawing, assembling sheave wheels, climbing lift towers and hiking/responding to injured bikers o... Read Moren trails. The stretch is perfect, allowing plenty of movement. Love the ankles and the knees. Plus the black style look like, well, nice work pants.
I wanted to get a comfortable pants that I can wear everyday. Happy hike pants was nice and I thought this pants must be the same thing with more cotton feeling. This pants were more stiff and a bit heavier than Id hoped but its fine. This material attracts lints, Im washing this pants inside out to prevent that.
I love the feel of these pants. They are easy to move in, easy to high-step in. The size 4 fit well (Im hips 95cm, waist 70cm, height 1.65m, weight 58kg). I would like them 1-2cm longer. I also love the contour of the side pockets, but they are insecure and of limited use, maybe a zip closure and make them a bit deeper? (Maybe a Chambeau zip, with ... Read Morethe placement and contour of the Caliza.) I was nervous about this waist band and no draw string, but it works and is comfortable with a harness. Will see how the stretch holds up over time. I tend to prefer neutral colors and my choices were black and dolomite. I would have gone dolomite but thought the busy waistband was a bit extra. I chose black and like them, dressy enough for work too! However, chalk and lint really cling to them (as one might expect) so you have to be willing to embrace that.
This is my third pair. I love the fabric. Its not very easy to find a comfortable cotton pants for hiking. The waistband is a bit too wide for me. Dolomite Blue fades rather quickly but faded version is not bad.
I love these trousers! I specifically got them for indoor and outdoor rock climbing, but i tend to wear them more often. The are stretchy and unobstructive when it comes to movement.
I was unsure about the red colour, but it's actually very pretty - more of a pink-red, than blue-red.
Highly recommended!
These are my absolute favorite pants. They're the only pair of Patagonia pants that fits me properly and I own 2 pairs in black and 1 in blue so I can wear them all week. I don't love the waistband on the blue ones because I tend to tuck shirts in and it becomes the focal point, but that's okay! They sit right above my ankle and I lo... Read Moreve the snaps that give the option of how tight the bottom of the leg is. I've worn them to work, hiking, biking, and rock climbing. They've held up to considerable wear and tear in the last year and once they wear through (no time soon) I plan on patching them with some fun colors!! Love these.
Got these recently. Mainly use for hiking and climbing. I absolutely love them! They move so well, don't get in the way when I am climbing, and are super comfortable with a harness on. I was mainly looking for a thicker pant to protect my knees when I (accidentally) bump them while climbing, and these are perfect. Only thing I would change is ... Read Morethe length; I am 5'9'' and they run slightly short, but I tend to roll them up when climbing anyway so this doesn't bug me, but might for some others.
These pants are almost perfect. The yoga waistband is so comfy but beware it is slightly small for a size 6. The cut, fit and color (bright blue) of these pants is really flattering, I might end up wearing these as casually too. These pants would be honestly be perfect if Patagonia offered a longer inseam option. The inseam on these is about 29, so... Read More they hit about 3 above my ankle. Not terrible but since theyre cotton I probably wont dry them to prevent them from getting any shorter. (Im 510, 135lbs, typically a size 6 or 28 in pants for reference). Patagonia, PLEASE offer some different inseam options for your tall athletic ladies out there!
y'all, pants never fit me. ever. i am not a climber but these looked nice enough that i could wear them to work and i could pretend they were nice pants and no one would notice. let me tell you. they look amazing but more importantly, they actually fit me. they are the only pants that fit my body type. for reference, i have a big bum, big thig... Read Morehs, and medium-big calves, but a pretty small waist. usually if i can get something over my bum it just falls right back off but the waist band on these is perfection. plus, since they are climbing pants they stretch all over and allow me to do my job well without worrying about my clothes (i'm an elementary teacher.) seriously, i cannot recommend these enough, especially if you have a body type similar to mine as described above. i cried from happiness to find pants that fit well and look good!
These pants are fantastic. They are higher waisted with a stretchy waist to fit comfortably under a harness. I love the detail of the foot snaps so I can still see my feet while I'm climbing, but can have the more relaxed fit around the ankles when I'm running errands. I find the material to be very breathable and doesn't hold on to ... Read Moreodors.
I'm just over 5'11" with long legs and and a straight rower's build, with a slightly more solid tummy than I used to have, after having a kid!

Thank you for your review on our Caliza Rock Pants. We're sorry to hear that these didn't end up working out for you. We're working on offering more extended sizing, including tall options, but it will take some time for us to nail it and present it to the public. In the meantime, we'd recommend checking out the [Women's Chambeau Rock Pants](https://www.patagonia.com/product/womens-chambeau-rock-pants/82935.html?dwvar_82935_color=CMPG&cgid=root). We double checked on the measurements and they do offer a longer inseam.

Best Climbing Pants Ever!
Love these. Soft, comfortable, not too thin to wear outside like some of my Prana, but not too bulky and oversized like my E9s.

These are 100% the best climbing pants. They are comfortable to wear in most temperatures. They allow range of motions for all the climbing moves.

The waist is perfect, snug but not tight. For me, the pants could be longer. I would like pants that are gusseted to provide more comfort. The blue color is pleasing and the material sturdy.
These are everything youve been looking for! High waist, comfy yoga pant like waist band, durable stretchy material, ability to cinch ankles...Im obsessed.

I love these pants! The fit is awesome - they're comfy, loose, and have the perfect amount of stretch but look fitted and great.

I have a heck of a time finding activewear pants that don't give me a huge waist gap, and finding these has totally solved my problem. The waistband is super stretchy and the material through the legs is roomy enough for movement but still look really cute. I'll be snagging another pair!
I am a vegetable farmer and as someone who is working outside in the summer, pants are a huge challenge. Shorts would be great, but when I'm kneeling in soil all day, pants are a must.
For bending, kneeling, and walking in the fields all day long, these are by far my favorite pants to wear in the warmer months. They were recommended to me fr... Read Moreom another female farmer and she did not steer me wrong!
I do wish the pockets had zippers so my phone wouldn't fall out when I crouch down. I also would love belt loops so I could more easily wear my harvest knife sheath (but I know these are made specifically for rock climbing and not outdoor workers!) so I understand why there are no belt loops.
If these pants can easily handle a year of farming, they're sure to stand up to whatever activities you have planned for them! I highly recommend these for year round wear, but I have particularly have enjoyed having a lighter weight, but sturdy pant to wear for farm work in the Summer.
I bought these for climbing since I usually climb in shorts and my legs get all scraped up, but I was skeptical because I'm generally not a "pants" person unless it's really cold. Then I tried these pants. They look like they're khakis but actually are much lighter and stretchier than they look. The yoga-pants waistband is ... Read Moresuper comfy too. They're a little long but easy to roll up. So far I've only climbed in them but they'd be great for hiking, too. They're not *quite* dressy enough to wear to work, otherwise I would, but they easily transition to lunch/coffee after climbing. Anyway, I'm stoked I bought these and just ordered another pair in the bright blue color!
This is the second pair of Rock Pants that I have purchased. I wore the last pair out after five years and now wear them when doing yard work. The Caliza Rock Pant is incredibly comfortable and yet durable at the same time. Will probably get another pair again soon! Thanks for keeping a great product around!
I wear these pants for outdoor rock climbing. They are comfortable, stretchy, flattering and tough. They also fit me perfectly.

I am ridiculously enthusiastic about these pants. They are very thing I need in a trusty pair of climbing pants: sturdy, deep functional pockets, flexible, narrow at the ankles (cute ankle cuffs that snap), low volume at the waist for easy harness wearing, and super comfortable.

Being a bit shorter I go for a rolled cuff on the size 8 that still looks real nice.
My only issue thus far has been a loose thread which has caused a small hole in the left pocket, but it looks be be a simple repair when I get around to it.
These pants are the best in hiking/ climbing with a super comfy yoga-pant-style waist band. I bought the bright blue- really fun- and will absolutely purchase more colors as they are available. {hint hint Patagonia}
I wear these mostly as a cover-up on my short bike ride to play beach volleyball, and I love them! I am 5'8", 145 lbs with more thigh/butt than stomach, and the waistband is surprisingly a bit tight for me in the 4. Still love them but would consider sizing up when I inevitably buy them again in a different color.
I always have trouble finding pants that fit because I have a small butt, but these are AMAZING! I am typically between sizes 2 and 4 in pants, and got the 4.

I have two pairs of these pants. I loved the first ones so much that I decided to buy another pair in another color. The second pair that I got, one of the snaps at the ankle broke off after the first use. I love them but for that reason they don't seem very durable.

I love that these don't have any buttons or zippers but fit snug enough that I am not pulling them up all day like some leggings. They are lose enough to be comfortable but not so baggy that they aren't flattering. I love these so much that I bought a second pair.
I love these pants! They were super comfortable for climbing in - just the right amount of stretch that you need. I will also wear them hiking.

I also really love the big front pockets, thank you Patagonia for making functional pockets in womens pants! My only request is a zippered thigh pocket thats big enough for a phone.

For reference my measurements are: 5'5'' and 135 lb, with 22 inch thighs and 27 inch waist. I purchased a size 4 and size 6 since I wasn't sure of the sizing on these.

I'd love to see a version of this pant made for hiking, or at least the banded hem with slit and snap changed to a normal hem (or lose the slit) so they can be altered more easily.

After ripping the rear of less stretchy pants, Ive been on a quest for something to climb in that feel sturdier than leggings. These are comfortable and light.

Love them!!
This is the greatest pair of pants Patagonia has come out with. I am a thin women so finding pants that are cute, well shaped, but not to tight is nearly impossible. These pants are great for normal wear, but also excellent on a slab.
Yay Patagonia! Ive been waiting for these pants my whole life - yoga pants waistband, sturdy legs material but super stretchy, and look nice enough to wear to work.
