Great pants!
I love many things about the Zephyr pant: the fit is superb. More than sizing, they are not too loose nor too tight, styling is great . I also like the feel of the fabric and the width of the legs from hip to ankle. Why a 4 star rating? Not sure why these pants have a drawstring that seems several inches longer than necessary. They get in the way when wearing and when washing. Also not sure why the pocket opening is so small as the pockets do fit a smart phone, but it is hard to get the phone into the pocket.
My go-to pants in the UP
I discovered these in a store 3 years ago and quickly bought another 2 pair online. At 5’1” I find that many petites are still too long, but these are perfect. I’ve long since lost all the drawstrings (which I wasn’t using anyway), but otherwise they’ve held up well. I’m still wearing these throughout 3 seasons in Michigan’s UP, usually a few days in a row before a wash/dry cycle. They’re comfortable and there’s plenty of room for a base layer or two underneath as needed. Great for travel, too.
More of a Zone 2 than 3
I wanted to love these pants. I have another SportHill Zone 3 style, and that pair is definitely for cold weather. This new pair fits well, but I would more accurately describe them as Zone 2. I could wear them in the gym, but not snowy weather. Plus, the hem is already unraveling after second wearing (and not washed yet).
Editor's note: Sorry to hear that the hem is unraveling. We have an one year warranty so call or email us and we can get you a replacement.
Can't see size chart beyond M
Size Chart only shows up to Medium. Where is complete size chart for Zephyr Pant?
pockets
Pocket not big enough for iPhone mini with a case on.
Didn't like the fabric
While these pants fit well and looked fine, I did not like the fabric. Stretchy was fine, but the fuzzy interior of the fabric was too hot indoors. I like to put on one pair of pants for the day for both indoor and outdoor activities. I sent them back. These might be right for someone else.
Editor note: SportHill does not recommend this pant for indoor workouts.
Zephyr pant
I usually wear a medium and that is what I ordered. Fit is perfect. Comfortable and warm. I very pleased with these pants.
Great pant!
I needed to replace my older xcountry pant which seemed to have lost their resiliency after 10 years! I wore them casually as well as for skiing when the temps were single digits. It has not yet snowed or gotten cold but we all know it is coming! I ordered the Zephyr pant as replacement and the fit is fabulous! I’m looking forward to the cold weather now!
Too short!
I am 5'10", ordered SL, - still too short - returned them today.
Women's Zephyr Pant
I'm disappointed that they are not as warm as the SprotHIll pants they replaced, XCP, 3SP, '07. What pants do you recommend that might be as warm as the earlier ones?
