Women's Super XC® Pant
I bought these pants to bike commute in and they are comfy and warm. I will wear them for mtn. biking, hiking and nordic skiing as well as they are functional for all the activities. I wear a small and the small fit.
Perfect for both running and nordic skiing, this versatile medium-weight pant performs well in a wide spectrum of temperatures and weather conditions. The Super XC features front panels made of Windshield™ stretch fabric for 40 mph protection and treated with DWR to repel water. The back panels are made from soft, breathable and moisture wicking SwiftPro™ fabric with 25 mph wind protection. The double articulated knee has a hidden stretch panel in front for maximum mobility. The Super XC Pant has an elastic cuff, ankle zippers and an inner gusset that stretches over a ski boot or keeps the fit narrow for running. For comfort, fit, and convenience, the Super XC also has a contoured elastic waistband with a drawcord, two side zip pockets large enough for a phone, and a secure back pocket.
Fabric: Windshield™ (100% polyester backed with 100% polyester knit); DWR, durable water resistant coating; SwiftPro™ (92% polyester, 8% spandex)

Longtime fan and user of Sporthill products - mostly for running in all seasons- but this was my first time with this model of women's pants. I used them during a snowshoe race in Oregon, with temps in the 30s, and there was some light precipitation. I was comfortable, even while I was warming up with exertion. The pants were even lightly water resistant, which is good since snowshoe running means you kick snow on yourself occasionally. The zipped pockets are capacious and stay zipped and the overall tapered leg fit of these pants means they are suitable for running. Would recommend.
If you are built like a stick, these might be great pants. But I have big thighs and these were WAY too tight for me to even get on. And the length was WAY TOOO LONG. SportHill might want to think about making a "stick figure" version (this model) and an "athletic" model. Unless you are as skinny as your skies, these will not fit.
I ordered pants for myself and my husband. He got his, I received only a pencilled note saying "sold out" and a refund. Not even the courtesy of an email notice at time my order was received that the order would NOT contain my pants as well. Come on, SportHill, that is no way to treat your customers!
I am only 5 ‘ tall and the fit was perfect (MP) The comfort is awesome too! I absolutely love them!
I have just received my second pair. I love the custom fit. I am 5' 2" and fit best into a medium petite. Please keep making these pants!
These are very well-made pants that work with or without a base layer. They are not too tight and the zippered pockets are more than usable. I am so happy with the 33 inch inseam length for the XL size—a perfect length for my long legs and one that is difficult to find in well-made outdoor clothing. Thank you!
These pants are perfect for people who live in cold climates. They work alone or with a base layer. They slide easily over a merino wool base layer, which not all pants do. The pockets are good, the fabric is nice, they cut the wind, and they are comfortable. I will wear these all winter - for sports and for everything else. Please do not stop making them.
The pants are well made and very comfortable. I wore them several times during a cold snap in south jersey. I did need to add a layer of thermal pants underneath to stay warm. I expected them to be warmer and provide better wind protection. Hopefully they will keep me dry during my walks in inclement weather.
Definitely go with a longer length then you think you need. Mine fit great, and I thought they would be 2 inches too long. I have worn these pants on the north coast beach weather in high 30's temperatures with a 40 mph wind from the north blowing cold. There was medium rain blowing into me and I walk the dog for an hour at a good clip. My legs aren't wet, aren't cold, and the pants move well with me.
